I own two bearded dragons the girl is saphira and the male is Argus. I think saphira might have tail rot.. She is a little bit bigger than Argus bur her tail is pretty short compared to his, it is also turning black on the end. I read that It could be shed but I doubt it. Is it tail rot?

It's pretty common for their tails to darken toward the end and is normal coloration. Does she have any wounds or kinks in the tail? If you can post a photo of her tail it would be helpful.

It does look like there's been a nip on the end but it looks healed which is fine. The gradual darkening toward the tip is very much normal and nothing to worry about. =)
 
If it was the circulation it would look like the tighter skin rings around the tail, mine lost his tail from that. Alot of dragons have darker ends so hes probally fine :) just keep an eye on it and make sure it doesnt all turn completely black he should be fine

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
