Having a milky tail is strange unless durning a shed. I don't know what it could be but it might not be good so if he doesn't shed with in the next couple weeks I would take him to a vet. It may be nothing to fret over but I would double check to make sure.

I'll google it before i take him to the vet as it's not an immediate danger lol. It's not like he randomly just shutdown and stopped eating and is sitting in a corner all day.

True true but sometimes they don't show any signs then one day they fall limp so yes google it then make a decision based off that.

All seems to point to just a normal shed so i'll continue to just watch and wait anxiously lol. He has started acting differently too, today and yesterday he just refuses to let me pick him up, even when he sees my hand coming. Eventually i got him today though but ended up having to fight with him to get him back in :roll:

Just gonna leave him be, don't want to stress him out anymore than he probably is.

:lol:, here we've been discussing his tail possibly shedding for like 2 days now, and today i come home to find the bottom of his head/chin area to be shedding (the skin was already coming off when i got home from work like an hour ago). It's just funny cause here is his tail that's milky white and i've seen no indication what so ever that his head was shedding :roll:

 

[Beardiesforthewin72]

Well there you go lol yeah beardies get super grumpy while shedding some don't though Charmander never gets grumpy durning her sheds in fact she's pretty mellow most of the time!

 

[littleassassin2]

He hasn't been grumpy at all, just refuses to let me pick him up lol. He's gonna not like me tomorrow when it the time comes for him to get in the bath lol.

 

[Beardiesforthewin72]

I know how you feel chars the same hates bathes and wants no part of them. And by grumpy that's exactly what I meant!

 

[littleassassin2]

Giving something the eye, idk what though lol

 

[littleassassin2]

So today was the big day . I came home to find his tail shedding AND dead skin all over his tank so im assuming that under his chin is done or nearly done. Very exciting stuff He also got his appetite back, or he was just starving and pounded down like 20 crickets when i got home from work.

Lol, amazing how exciting this stuff is :roll:

 

[Mummapinkham]

I love the pics. He looks like he has quite the attitude already, lol.

 

[littleassassin2]

I put the cricket keeper full of crickets on top of his tank lol

basking on his cactus

Edit: I also noticed when i woke up this morning his sides are starting to turn a really dark green and he's been really finicky... I think it might be though the past 2 times i let him on my floor (the last time being last night) he ran straight for the heating vents that run along my wall and he must've found a hole of something to contort himself into, i almost had a heart attack, twice, and struggled to get him out... No, the heater wasn't on, hasn't been for months, but i did have to get a little rough with him no more running on the floor for him until he gets older.

 

[littleassassin2]

I swear, Leeroy could find any hole the size of a quarter without ever being in the room before. He's a monster when i take him out of his cage, he can't sit still and he doesn't like to be in the open when he's out of his tank, he always has to search for something to cram himself into.

I put him on top of me like 5 minutes ago, looked away and ZOOM he took off, jumped off me and landed on the floor and started to run right for the heating vent. I then took him with me in the livingroom and he almost fell asleep in my hand so i put him on my chest. He decided he wasn't tired, ran off me onto the couch cushion, and tried to go down the space between the couch and the cushion. My god.

 

[littleassassin2]

Leeroy actually let me feed him collard greens BY HAND today!!!! He usually cowers in fear and heads for the hills when my hand gets in the cage but he actually let me hand feed him something

 

[BeardieMommy3991]

This is probably a bit late, but his tail is definetly just shedding. X) Leeroy is Uber cute though!

 

[littleassassin2]

His tail shed nicely, now his head is beginning to shed. More pics will be coming soon
