Nope, not taking a swipe and yes he is declawed... Reptar and my kitty Maverick are extremely comfortable with each other. I wouldn't allow them together if Maverick were aggressive in any way.
When I got my beardie his tail was all the same color, as hes aged (he's 10 months old now) half of his tail is turning a darker shade, I'm unsure if his coloration is naturally changing/darkening as hes growing or if he has tail rot?
