Tail rot? New owner.

Hello, I'm a new beardie owner. Owning a beardie has been something I've wanted since I was young and for my birthday my husband got everything on my wish list for this new baby that I have been waiting for the right time to get. We got him from Petco because I was in love how he was so chill.

Now he was in the middle of shedding when I got him a week and a few days ago. I think he is between 4-6 weeks.

I've brushed with a baby tooth brush and also soaked in betadine as well just in case. But I need other owners opinions.


does this look like tail rot?

This is two days ago

That looks like maybe a nip from a tankmate. It doesn't look too bad at this point but I'd keep an eye on it. Look for the shriveled areas and very dark areas expanding up the tail which is a bad sign. If they stay the way they are then it isn't likely to cause a long term issue.

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
