My beardie has been like this for years, but i am now worried it might be tail rot because her tail is getting more bent.

Hello,

How long has the tail been bent to that extreme?
If the color is changing, it is possible that something is going on there, or it is going to shed.
Has it ever had trouble with shedding?
Are you using a good UVB light & calcium supplementation for her?

Only recently has her tail been bent to that extreme.
Never had any trouble shedding, except I've never noticed her tail shed.
Yes, I am using good UVB light and calcium supplement.

Hello,

Which UVB are you using?
If the bend has gotten more severe then she injured it somehow or her body may not be
absorbing calcium very well. I recommend trying to get her to a vet for an x-ray and
analysis. That is a pretty severe bend & indicates some type of calcium deficiency or a
complication from a tail break.

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
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
