Dark Spot On Tail

Hi

Little Pheobe hasn't had any health problems since I got her, but I noticed a black spot on her tail that appeared after like a day. What's curious is that on the white underside of her tail at around the same spot, there's another black spot. I wondered if it were possible she maybe got caught somewhere? possible fungus? she does have crickets in her enclosure but they are never left there overnight.

It would be great if someone could give me a more definitive answer as to what it is and how to treat it, I'm new to the rodeo after all and it would be horrible if I chose the wrong treatment.

By the way, she is in the process of shedding her tail. I don't know if that's helpful but I just thought I'd mention it.

Thanks!

Those look similar to the tail spots my guy has. They don't seem to change much over time and the scales aren't damaged - just have a darker color to them. I don't find it to be anything concerning.

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!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
