Shedding/tail rot/Skinny? *pics*

[graceface]

Just found out my little rescue is actually a girl! So while I was bending her and examining her and probably pissing her off I noticed some other things.

The tip of her tail is black, could it be tail rot? It's always been like that for the past week so I know it's not stress...

It's difficult to tell but on top of her head it almost looks like she has dead skin/ flakes on the top of her head, is that shed?

Does she look thin to you? The poor baby was only being fed 2 dubia a day. They said that was all she wanted - I fed her 20 yesterday and had to stop her because I didn't want to run out before the next bugs came in lol.

Hello,

It could be getting ready to shed also, as many times the area will become darker prior to a shed.
The end looks like it has healed up nicely though so I don't think there is any tail rot going on right now.
Those do look like some retained scales on her head but they should come off soon though.
She doesn't really look too thin though, but her tail base could plump up some. If she continues to eat like that she will definitely put on some weight. I think she is a little cutie. I am sure she is going to do very well with you.
