she did that after the first time nugget bit his tail. could a small tank maybe cause him to say, get bored and go at his tail? my sister just mentioned nugget runs around her room, but starts taking interest in his tail one put back in his tank. i dont know the exact size of the tank, i think...

my beardy nugget just bit his tail again! this time under my sister's care, and she's a pet fanatic. according to the pics she sent me, he bit the very tip again, and it looks like it may be rotting again. should i advise her to snip it off like i did last time? she's already treating it to...

alrighty, that really relieves the worrying. thank you :)

alright, so afer the dilema of my beardy nugget biting his tail (more details in "nugget bit his tail" in the er section, nugget has been acting normal again. BUT since then, the tip of his tail got a little dark on the top, the bottom of his tail is still bright as always, and the very tips of...

he's been more active since i snipped the end off than he has been since he bit it, so i assume he's just fine with missing a small portion of his tail. the wound seems to have sealed up for the most part, but i'm still keeping it clean and applying ointment.

oh my gosh i just cut the tip off and i'm feeling really bad about it. nugget definitely felt the cut cause he gave out a rather big flinch, but he doesn't seem pissed about it. he's totall calm after the flinch, as if nothing happened. the black tip was spreading up the tail slowly and i...

update i just took a few more pics of his tail, i tihnk these might be the most detailed pictures i can get, while he's asleep and i can focus light on the tail. note the small bite mark further up the tail. again, it was from the first time he bit his tail. also note the spot of red under the...

he definitely hasn't bitten his tail again since the first time. i've been using paper towel to line the tank since i got him. the end of the tail below the bite is stiff, not soft, and i think he definitely doesn'y feel it anymore. the portion just ahead of the bite kinda turned dark, but it...

thanks for replying. just knowing someone would follow up relieves some stress. yes i am providing uvb lighting and dusting the crickets with calcium. as a side note, i'm feeding him freeze dried crickets, mainly because i can't seem to afford live ones. his tail looks the same as yesterdat...

another update. there seems to be some blood gathering up under the skin just infront of the main bite area (towards the body) he definitely feels it when i squeeze infront of the bite, but i think he's lost feeling at the tip. sorry for sounding like i'm rushing you guys, but i really want to...

same as yesterday i guess. i don't see any exposed pink flesh anymore; where there was flesh is now white. could that be skin regrowing? he doesn't seem to respond when i squeeze the tip of his tail though. the bitten area is just a little darker than the rest of the tail, while the colour at...

bump? sorry, i feel this is rather urgent :(

update i'm giving him a bath right now and i noticed the tip of his tail is now all kinda white instead of the redish-pink i saw before. should i be worried about that? and as far as feeligns go, i'm not sure if he feels the tip of his tail, or if he's just ignoring me. btw i think its obvious...

i'm believe i'm using everything i should be. i think he simply mistakened his tail for food but realized it wasn't a little too late. i assume you've looked at the attached pictures? also, is polysporin okay? i don't have neosporin, nor can i seem to find any at the closest walmart with is...

lol thanks for the reply. you wont be able to really see him anyways, i only took pics of his tail. i have polysporin; would that work? i think he might sill have feeling in the 'hanging' tip; when i swab the area with a diluted-betadine-soaked swab, he flinched a little, like he normally would...
