Hi everyone my about 6 year old beardie iggy about a month ago tip of tail was darker and was bleeding a little bit upon looking closer starting from the tail tip to about a inch and a quarter up it had what I believe was retained shed since it was dark for awhile and when I peeled it off it came of like shed that took a little picking to get off and about a week after that the very tip of the tail shriveled up and got black and hard and I read a few post that said it was natural and so on and some time after that being today I notice the tip must've fell off and the place were it fell of had a little blood and the wound looked like good skin so to speak but can't help but notice the top part of his tail looks a little darker then the rest of his tail and the underside looks a tiny bit darker. But it would be appreciated if anyone could give me insight and advice on what to do and if i should be worried mainly because there is literally no reptile vet near me thanks again.

It looks damaged but hopefully the dead tissue came off completely. I would focus on keeping the end clean and use some plain neosporin or manuka/unpasteurized honey to help protect it from infection. If the area above the broken tip starts to look wounded or shriveled it may indicate infection has taken hold and a vet should be consulted quickly.

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
