So my Beardie has some tail problems I need help fixing them. She has always had problems with her dark tail since I got her about 2 months ago. I have been soaking her tail in betadine for 5 minutes then putting Walgreens brand antibiotic ointment with no pain relief. Her tail seemed to get lighter almost normal. Then I was gone for a week and my mom took care of her but she never bathed her. When I came back her tail was way darker then it used to be. So I started doing the treatment again this time it’s slower getting back to normal and I used a toothbrush to rub it in the bath. I also noticed some what looks like pink under her gray scales so I’m wondering if that’s raw under her scales but the scales are gray above the pink. She has orange on her and she just shedded her full body today. She is 16.5 ounces and she eats as many dubia (which I just switched to instead of crickets) as she wants usually over 10 each meal. I have the reptisun 10 tube and her warm side is 100-110 and cold 75-85.
**edit** every time you grab your tail and slowly move down you end up with black specs on your finger. This also happens when I use the toothbrush. Sorry forgot to add in.
Before I left. (Its still a tiny bit darker)
When I came back
Now (a week of treatment) you can see where it looks like 2 bands that are tight around her tail.
It’s hard to see but where the normal hits the darker (a little lower too) there is a little pink underneath
