Hello I have been on the forums for the past couple days getting advice and I finally just got my beardie :D . Now I has met her before me having her (she was free and was from a friend not a breeder) and she has a nipped tail. Now They say that it is ok and they treated it and its t months old so I know its not infected. I just wanted an outside look at this because when it comes to injuries with reptiles

It looks like its healing to me. I don't see any obvious signs of infection and the scar tissue looks fairly normal. It should look a little better after each shed.

Oh thank god.He does seem to have a little stuck shed on him shown in the "fulll body" picture. You can see at the tale and face the colors change

If you're worried about it becoming infected I think you can use betadine to clean the tail tip. I'd do some research first though because I'm not 100% certain on it.

thank you I'm almost sure it's not infected though because of the fact that it has been like this for over 2 months and I think the lizard would have died by now but I'm not 100% sure

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!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
