I have 2 juvenile beardies that are approx. 4-5 months old. I noticed the other day that one had about an inch and a half of its tail missing. One of the beardies is more active than the other and I witnessed it biting at the one that is missing the piece of its tail. I was told to purchase polysporin ointment by the owner of my local pet store. I am just wondering if this is the right thing to do.

AGAIN, never house beardies together this is exactly what happens. Keep them seperated in their own homes.

Hello,

Yes, you can clean the tail with diluted betadine & use neosporin or polysporin ointment daily to help ward off infection.
Then you will need to separate them so it does not continue happening. The next accident may be much worse than a tail bite.

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
