Hello, I have a 5 month old bearded dragon and besides the small twitch in his tail he had since birth, the tip of his tail seems to be darker. I'm not sure if this is tail rot and I wanted to ask first since i don't want to go to the vet for no reason. In the picture below you can see the tail.
Thank you

If the kink has been there all along, it's probably not an issue on its own. The darkening may just be natural darker color along the end of the tail which is normal and common, or perhaps shed related. If the tail looks like it's starting to shrivel or the kinked area appears to be expanding, it may indicate a problem and should be checked out by a vet.

Those type of things are tricky and some don't get worse but others are actually tail rot under the dark thin area. Can you get a couple more pics in good light ?

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

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