Pretty sure my 2 month old has tail rot

[Jumbolish]

Hey guys so I've my little guy has had a tiny, almost unnoticeable kink at the tip of his tail. I've noticed it seems slightly darker in shade towards the tip. I feel like this might be tail rot but would like a more experienced beardie owner to chime in. Thank you very much for any help guys!

Hello,

It doesn't appear to be tail rot, but looks darker like it's going to shed. There is a slight little nip at the end, did it get pinched?
I would get some raw unpasteurized honey or antibiotic ointment to put on the end of the tail in case there is some infection going on. If there is, it is very minimal. How long has it looked like this?
Is he eating very well right now?

Thanks for your response Tracie! And he's had that nip since I got him from the breeder. Probably a nip from one of his siblings. I've had him for about 2 weeks and he just started eating three times a day after some acclimating, now at almost 30 feeders a day.

Hello,

You are welcome!
Sure, the tail nips are very common indeed. Does it look like it is staying the same?
Go ahead & try treating it, maybe it will help it heal up sooner.
It sounds like he is starting to settle in, now with his appetite picking up too. It just takes time for them to get adjusted to a new home.
