New beardie; tail rot?

[basedgod]

I've only had her for a couple weeks now, but just noticed her tail. Is the start of tail rot?

I've been supplementing calcium, I think the UVB light is okay even though I see some people saying CFL uvb bulbs. Rest of the pics of enclosure and info are in my profile.

Anyway, should I be worried?

Thank you.

It's just crimped now, not tail rot but keep a watch.

The little kink is pretty normal, as long as the tissue isn't deteriorating it isn't an issue.
Like @AHBD mentioned just keep an eye on it.

Oh btw Lori, hi and welcome to the forum ! And also btw, compact + coil bulbs are not strong enough, no one really uses those long term.

I borrowed a friends UVB meter thing and it was hitting 4.0-4.2, read that was OK. But I do plan on getting a tube bulb when I'm not broke. Think it'll be fine for another month at most?

And thanks a out the tail, guys.

They don't cover much area so it's a bit of a gamble but might work for a short time. I'll have a look at your pics , everyone loves b.d. pics of course !

That is another thing, I do need to spruce up her cage but unless she's hunting crickets or sleeping she doesn't really use much of the tank besides the basking spot

The tank looks good, probably will need a bigger one in future. One thing to add is a long branch for climbing. Not the vines or a hammock the stores sell but a stout branch. You can even get one outside [ not pine or anything with sap ] and sterilize it in a preheated oven at 250 for an hour. I get all my tank decor from outside. Oh, and feed fewer crickets so she doesn't gain weight too fast.

I literally just got a branch from outside and have it in the oven right now. And I'm glad you said feed less crickets, it's getting expensive, I was just following guides from google.

Thanks a lot.

We can post websites for UVB's and feeder insects if you need them please ask

She is really perching up there ! Nice addition to the tank, and finding good free decor is always satisfying.
