Before you read, I apologize for my poor English.

I have 11month-old beardy and he got some problem

The tip of Beardy Dragon's tail had turned dark.
I applied coconut oil to it to encourage shedding of the scales.

The flesh underneath the shed scales is a light purple color.
When I touch the tail, it wriggles as if it is in pain.

Is this a precursor to tail necrosis?
Is the coconut oil just a matter of application?

I have a spray at home that is diluted in a 10:1 ratio of water:iodine.

Hello,

Indeed, welcome to the forum, from Korea!
I agree, the tail is pre-shed so, it will definitely be very sensitive.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
