Hi Guys my beardies tail just this last inch or so of it is hard. The rest of her tail is flexible etc. Her tail is all the same color and in no way resembles a dark color like what tail rot looks like. It is actually quite the opposite being a very light color. Lighter than the rest of her body. The light color starts a little past the base of her tale maybe 1 inch down from the back legs and goes all the way to the end of the tale.
Does anyone have any clue what it could be. She has not shed in a while but i have tried soaking her and gently brushing her with a tooth brush to see if her tail just needed shed. If that is the case i sure cant find where the shed starts to help with it. Also as of about 2 months ago her appetite vanished as in i cant get her to eat anything. Dubia's, crickets, worms, salads, etc. But she does drink occasionally when shes in her pool outside. I have been having to find creative ways for her to eat.
She is not impacted as she just went to the bathroom today. Although there was a part of it that was very orangish/brown and gritty feeling.
Any Info in regards to this would be greatly appreciated. I guess theres a few things going on but im sure there all related... I have searched high and low and all i find about a tail being hard is tail rot, with black tail pictures. Thanks in advance
sry dont have time to post the hugh amount of info but the basics are:
MegaRay bulb, yes i supply the correct kind of calcium for the bulb
She spends most of her day in water outside in the sun so baths are taken care of also.. (Have an outside metal cage for the deck)
She is probably about 5-6yrs old.
