Dark Colouring Under Tail

[DoubleJ]

Hi all, me again Could anybody tell me why my beardies tail is dark underneath. I have scrubbed it very gently with a baby toothbrush and given my beardie a bath everyday for a week and it doesn't seem to be getting cleaner (if it IS dirt of course). Would it be because she (just worked out its a girl not a boy) is getting ready to shed and is slightly uncomfortable? She hasn't pooped today but did yesterday and it looked healthy so I am pretty sure she isnt constipated.

Thanks all once again

You can't quite tell from the pic but everyones dragons seem to have really white tummys and tails and mine isnt as white. Has shades of black under there. I am not too concerned, but it does niggle me a bit. Lol I have decied he is a she :roll: Gotta think of another name now.

:dontknow:
Looks normal to me? Might just be a bit stressed...
Probably because your pulling on her tail lol
You need to support her more next time.. Hand under the belly or something

Yeah probably I will treat her gently from now on, promise

how often do you bath her? the vents are very sensitive so i wouldn't rub it too much..
A couple of baths might help

I bath her every day atm, just to encourage her to poop, it doesn't always work though. Should I bath her less often do you think? I don't always clean her, just let her chill

Tbh, i canrt see much wrong with it,
Might just be stress marks, Or its probably natural...

Yeah, i dont think I will worry too much about it. Thanks for the reassurance.
