His tail again

So a little while ago I was cleaning prometheus' tank, and I was moving stuff around, and he jumped out and scared me and I don't know if I had dropped his hide on the tip of his tail or not, but it is looking a little brown/black on the end, or atleast it does to me.... Does it look like tail rot, or am I lucky for my baby to not be hurt.

Sorry the pictures are bad, it's probably nothing, better safe than sorry, right?

Indeed it is always better to be safe than sorry!
By the looks of it, it doesn't really look like tail rot. Most beardies I have seen tend to have their tails be a bit darker around the end, so I wouldn't worry too much about it, unless you really think you dropped the hide on his tail. As long as there doesn't really seem to be any noticeable damage (which I can't really see in these pictures), then there is probably nothing to worry about. Either way, you should be fine, just keep an eye on the tail to make sure that it does get worse.

So I've made a post earlier about Prometheus tail earlier and now it's looking blacker than normal and now I'm just worried about it.

I don't see any signs of crimping or damage. The darkening tail looks similar to others I've seen and is natural. Areas that look crimped or wounded would cause concern but I don't see that in your photos.

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. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
