Hello! I just recently discovered my bearded dragon may have tail rot. When i got her (from a friend who couldn’t take care of her anymore) she already had the bend in her tail but everything looked normal. I can’t tell if it might be stuck shed or bad tail rot. This is very urgent to me because she seems to have no feeling at the end of the tail (not sure). Any help is very appreciated, I started a betadine soak just in case

Hi there, can you post pics of the tail just like that while it's dry ? Being wet always distorts the true color. From what I see it just looks like shed though, but dry pics will be very helpful. A small kink is no problem at all, many beardies have them. BTW, tails feeling stiff is also normal, beardies can curl them a bit when they like but can keep them stiffened as well.

Thank you for getting back so quickly! I’ll take some photos in the morning as it’s 8:50pm for me and don’t want to disturb my beardie, once again I really appreciate your speed

I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
