Tail/foot rot?

Beardeddragon03 · Aug 26, 2019

My bearded dragon's tail has started to turn white at its tip and on his feet. Im not sure if this is tail rot or just somthing happening naturally. Im new to bearded dragons and have only had him under a month. Is this tail rot?

It sounds more like a shed is coming on.That's totally normal for them and young ones will shed pretty frequently. If you want to post some photos I can double check for you though. You can upload photos here https://www.beardeddragon.org/useruploads/ and post them to your thread using the XIMG button when you reply.

What is the substrate you have in the tank ? I would look at getting rid of it due to impaction issues-- you can use textured non adhesive shelf liner from Home Depot or Lowes etc..... its cheap and easy to clean - vinegar / water in a spray bottle 50/50--

It just wood chiplings that pets at home recommended and at the time i wasnt sure what substrate to get so i went with their recommendation

Definitely looks like shed to me. I'd imagine by now it probably looks a bit more grey/white?

Wood chips are not good-- I would replace
