tail rot?!?!?

JFish1739 · Jan 30, 2020

Please help. New beardie roughly 5 months old just lost about a 1/4” of his tail. I don’t know if it’s tail rot or not. His tail is lighter than his body. Please help me get this little dude figured out.

It looks like its gonna shed but here is some info to look for or cross reference to see if it is tail rot
Causes of tail rot are:
1. Injuries/trauma - caused by falls, or by any other bearded dragon.
2. Malnourished - make sure he has a balanced diet and he gets the nourishment he needs
How to identify tail rot:
1. Dried out - Decaying tail won't be able to retain moisture, check if it's dried out completely.
2. Very thin, brittle - Decaying tail won't be able to process nourishment, causing it to become more thin and brittle.
What to do after finding out it has a tail rot:1. Go to a vet - very recommended
