I'm starting to worry this is the start of tail rot.

okay so my beardie has shed lately, she shed around her head, her torso, legs, and even the top of her tail (thickest part of the tail near the legs). I havnt seen her shed the dark part of the tail in the pics. What strikes me weird is that the tail doesn't always stay this dark, sometimes it looks normal then a hour later it looks as dark as it does in the pics. I've tried touching it but she hates it and runs away if I try to touch her tail. I would say her tail has been like this on and off for about 2 weeks now maybe a little longer. My daughter actually pointed it out to me at first.

That looks normal to me. The dull/waxy skin is about to shed. I don't see signs of a wound or any crimped areas or shriveling that would indicate a problem.

okay good thank you. is it normal for them to change skin tone color like I previously mentioned. one minute it's normal color and next it's dark like in the pic? could she be part chameleon lol

 

[CooperDragon]

Yeah that's quite normal. They lighten and darken to help either absorb or reflect heat and light.

Yep, looks completely normal. Most Dragons do have a darker last-half of their tails than the first half, and it's often worried about by owners who haven't yet seen a lot of Dragons with the same, natural darkening of the second half of their tails. And they often change colors suddenly, at the drop of a hat, usually this has to do with the lighting around them, as they darken and lighten in order to either absorb more or less light/heat. All perfectly normal.
