Tail looks fine a little kinked but no black and it looks like its gonna shed-- tail rot will start w/ nips bites and pinches that have cut off circulation --
Thank you! I have been researching for the last 3 days and I still didn't understand if he had tail rot or no

Kinks happen for a variety of reasons, and aren't a worry, With tail rot the flesh is actually dying/dead. Also it is normal for their tails to become vary dark right before and during shed, or when they are cool, stressed ect.

What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
