Hello, I just got my beardie from petsmart yesterday. I noticed when I got home that the tip of my buddy's tail has a thin spot and the very tip feels like it's going to fall off. Is there anything I should do? Is this tail rot? Here is a couple pictures https://imgur.com/a/TOJv3An thank you.

Hi there, he looks good over all. :) The tip will usually just fall off with no further problems, so you can just put a dab of neosporin on to keep it clean. Babies often nip the tail tips when housed together, most never get tail rot. Other than that he should be fine.

Thanks for the info, I'm relieved! I was already getting ready to take him to the vet tomorrow. I put some neosporin on his tail after a bath.

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 💔
