Should I be worried?

[whispersinmyhead]

I put my bearie Freddie (about two months old) in another tank for a few minutes while I cleaned out his big one. I didn't realize that is was a bit on the cool side until I was putting him back in his home I noticed half of his tail was a dark bueish/grey. He is going through a shed right now but his tail wasn't like that before I took him out of his tank. Should I be concerned? His color seems to be normal agian after a couple hours. He still behaved normally and didn't even mind coming out to rest on my arm for a bit once he weas warmed up again.

Any feedback is much appreciated.

Darker colors are for absorbing more heat. He's fine

Thank you very much. I was getting a little paranoid because I ran into a whole bunch of tail rot articles.

Yes, I can understand that after reading those, you would be concerned !
dragons change color for a variety of reasons, though I truly believe yours did so to keep as much heat in as possible. All my boys do the same thing, when we take them out of the vivs.

Yeah i guess the last half of his tail would turn because it would cool the fastest too. Also less blood in extremities. Thanks again.
