Should I be concerned about his tail?

[goosegoose]

I got a new beardie about 5 days ago and I noticed a notch at the end of his tail. I looked at a picture of him before we bought him and it's definitely there too. I need help knowing if there's actually something wrong and if I should be concerned?

It looks like the start of tail rot.

I was hoping it wouldn't be that He can still feel from that part of his tail but do you think I should take him to a vet?

It's going to fall off- and if he still has feeling that's good - get some raw unpasteurized honey and put on it- please no crickets in the tank they will go straight for the tail - I will have ahbd take a look

I would start now so no infection starts- then when it does fall off and it's raw keep putting honey on it till it scabs over- ahbd can advise more as to help w/ it

That part will probably fall off and the tail has a good chance of being totally fine. Use the raw honey or Neosporin to fight any potential infection.
