Stuck shed? Pale turned to normal colour with no shed

Hi all,

My beardie, 9 weeks old, has been shedding quite well until now. His tail turned pale about one week ago, indicating an imminent shed, but since then it did not shed, and now his tail has reverted to his regular colour, albeit a little paler in colour, but nowhere near as pale as it was.

Is this a sign of a stuck shed? Normally by now his shed would have come off after 1 week of a pale tail, but now it's just as if the skin is not going to shed.

Here’s a photo about a week ago showing the pale tail

And one taken just now

As you can see, the tail is almost back to the normal colour, and I've checked everywhere in the enclosure for shed -- nothing has come off.

It still looks off color to me -- its going into shed ---just leave it alone for some reason tails can take longer to shed -- he will be fine

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
