Tail question!

So I read somewhere that the base of a bearded dragon's tail (along with the rest of it I guess) needs to be hard and firm, and if it's soft/squishy, it means they need more calcium in their diet.

Now, my dragon's tail has been firm before and squishy before going along with a changed diet but I try to give him calcium dusted worms one or twice a week. Is that enough, does he need more? His tail is a little soft at the sides right now.https://9apps.ooo/

IS your dragon chunky? They can hold a layer of fat in their tails too, which obviously will make the tail feel softer.

You really aren't going to be able to tell if a dragon needs more calcium by feeling the "softness" of it's tail bone.

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 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
