Is this usual on the tail

[Talullah]

Hi all ! - New owner - juvenile beardie - we just got him yesterday and we just noticed the tail - is this usual ?

He is active and happy - eating well - and quite curious, thanks for any clues

It looks dried out and dead-- is there any injuries to the tail like bite marks or has it been pinched in a door etc ?

 

[Talullah]

No injuries - looks like it was shedding - a short bath and it fell away like dry skin !

It's good that the dead tissue fell off. Keep a close eye on the tail. If you start to see damage moving further up the tail, it may indicate an infection and will need treatment from an experienced reptile vet. If it heals over and the rest of the tail continues to look normal, it shouldn't cause any further issues.

I suggest taking him/ her to the vet...? :? :? :?
