Am I overreacting?

Hi!
I've had my beardie since late october and the day i got him a noticed a cute little flaw at the tip of the tail, so that it is bent to the side.

I've just heard about something called tail rot, and my bd's tail seems to darken as it gets closer to the tip and at the very end it turns a slight gray-ish color. Is this normal or something to be worried about?

I really hope I'm imagining it :S

Also, side note, do any of your beardies wiggle to get comfortable?
And do they nudge you for any reason? (dunno if its just him)

His tail looks fine, just a tiny nic at the end but not tail rot. And yes, mine will do a little wiggle when they snuggle down for some sleepy time.

Thanks!
that's a load off my mind.
Well not really since I'm trying to get rid of his internal parasites, but it's one less thing to worry about

The first time he wiggled i nearly cried because it's so cute!

They sure have cuteness in bucketloads - especially as very young hatchlings .... my wife can hardly keep her eyes off our two 5 week old beardie hatchlings Peppa and Toothless (names cf our 5 yr old grandson).

Now if you want super cute tail wriggling - baby eastern water skinks have that covered - it's like their superlong tails have a life of their own, especially when they are excited or very happy (eating something yummy).
