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.

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
