Is this tail rot?

[Camden17]

A few days ago he was shedding and when the shed came off he had some blood underneath the scales. Now it looks like this.

It looks like fungus on the certain scales

Shoot does he have yellow fungus? I’ll try to find a vet near me is there anything I can do in the meantime?

No, that doesn't look like yellow fungus. Did that area have a little retained -tight shed and anyone pull on it ? Did you put anything on it ? You can use a little Neosporin or raw honey on it.

Oh sorry,

On my phone it looked way different for some reason and it looked like fungus! but now, im on my computer and now it doesn't look like it!;P

Oh okay good got freaked out for a minute. So it wasn’t really retained, just a normal shed, but he was sleeping in a blanket and my brother kinda rolled him in it which made the shedding kind of open up in the middle. I did put the honey on it when it was first bleeding. So should I just add honey and keep an eye on it to see if it heals?

Yes that'll be fine

 

[Camden17]

Yes that'll be fine

Okay thanks!

Hello,

I concur, it is simply retained scales, no tail rot. Just put some aloe vera gel, or silver gel on it to help the scales
shed off.
