You can get some betadine and mix a little with water so it looks like weak tea. I put some in a paper cup and dipped Emilys tail in while holding her. I soaked it every day for 1- to 15 min's dried it well and applied a triple antibiotic without pain meds in it. You can also get some raw unpasteurized honey from a health food store and apply that to the tip of her tail. Unpasturized honey has antibacterial and antiviral properties to it and seems to work very well in helping to heal a wound.

ive been putting some neosporin on his tail ..

woke up today and this is what i saw.. i guess he was shedding!

LOL I think its always cute when they shed their nostrils and that little piece of skin moves in and out when they breathe. He is a gorgeous beardie, both of them are.

Love his colors! He reminds me of a piece candy, like a jelly bean or something.

My guy will not eat much .. its only been about 4 days.. so im not worrying too much yet.. i hope it is just relocation stress.. ive fed him .. crickets, turkistan roaches, supers, and wax worms. he only eats a couple here and there.. i have fresh dusted salad everyday for him .. which he eats a few pieces. (collard greens, mustard greens, and turnip greens) and i also have 400+ dubias coming today .. 20 females 10 adults.. and 400 3/8 or smaller and phoenix worms are also on the way. i really hope he starts eating

how long before i should be worried?
