Redness on tail - bruising or something else?

Hugo has some redness on his tail, is this bruising or something else?

Was thinking possibly bruising as one of the two points is exactly where I spotted him with his tail accidentally caught in something the other day, but I don't want to assume anything (because I'm a paranoid parent).

Either a shed; or he's just been through a shed and it came off too quickly.

My beardie is going through a tail shed & he's got this line going down his spine.
I didn't know if it was genetic or if he was just shedding like that.

It appears as if some type of reaction to the lights/Darkness is causing the center of his spine to create a line; & him to shed.

He also has a gray line on his shedding tail.
Just a random gray line.
I think he's going to shed it off.

Hello,

The pinkish tint is water retention under the scales, essentially. The tail area is pre-shed so,
it will be nice & colorful when it is all shed off.

The basking side of my tank isn't getting up to the suggested 100degrees. Does that mean I need to get a new basking light?
does her poop look healthy?
In your perspective does my baby bearded dragon look healthy or unhealthy? Does she look bloated? she is active and eats very well also she is in her basking spot all day
