On the tail it needs to be arched just a tad more forward (not enough to be painful to your beardie) and the pictures need to be straight from behind, and of the tail behind the vent. If it's a male the hemipenes will show up behind the vent.
I'm not sure about the toes.

You can post a few more pics as xp29 suggested but from these it looks female. The toes are no concern, just light stain from a variety of things, the possibilities including bug guts, substrate and even a few specks of poo. Very normal.

Pretty new but I'd agree, I don't see any hemipenal bulge.

shes a female.. will she get egg bound without a male?

Well there's no guarantee that she'll develop eggs for sure, not all females do. Those who do produce infertile eggs may or may not become eggbound but are more likely to not become eggbound.
Dragons that are bred and carrying fertile eggs can still become eggbound but it may be less likely. None of my females that were bred ever became eggbound and they laid large healthy clutches.

That's tooo young, best to wait until at least 16 -18 months. Another thing to consider is what you will do with all the babies. Here is a thread with a realistic view of how difficult, expensive and time consuming it is to raise babies.

Also keep in mind a female can lay 4 or 5 clutches from 1 pairing. (Up to about a year) so potentially 100+ babies to have to find homes for.

Hey! I'm planning on ordering a 4x2x2 for my next beardie but I'm worried about lighting. I have a UVA and a UVB but they are small (the UVA just being a bulb and the UVB being 12 ish inches?) My house is drafty so I need a strong light that puts off quite a good amount of heat, any suggestions?
cookie event at my library today, quite fun! Made some bracelets for my comrades too, to give them at church in the morning. Got a busy day tomorrow even though I’m off work… i go back on tuesday so atleast I’ll have 2 days off to rewind….then back to hell lol
