I'm a little worried about Rylee's Tail. A few days ago it changed colour from the rest of her body as if she might be shedding it. Also the tip has gone a little black (I'll attach pictures) The only thing is I can't tell if circulation is being cut off because the underside of her tail hasn't gone black on the tip, just the top. I am starting to gve her soaking baths incase but I can't tell if its a stuck shed or whats going on. She is full grown and I can't even remember the last time she shed its been awhile, Her behaviour has been completely normal for her but she has also been doing (for the last day) the eye pop thing they do sometimes. I'm just looking for some advice here, one spot on her tail also looks as if one scale has fallen off or something, I'm not entirely sure. Anyways advice please!

That is a strange colour. They usually go lighter just before they shed I think. I hope someone can help you with your query.

my boys tail looks a bit like that a few days before he sheds, although he's missing a third of his tail, so just the end bit goes a bit darker like in your picture, once he's shed it goes back to normal :)

So by the sound of things what's happening to her is normal? Her front left arm ia going very white up to the elbow area and looks like it will shed so I'm hoping she's just gonna do a full shed since she hasn't in months, does that one weird scale look like something I should be concerned about? Also it doesn't look like a stuck shed does it?

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!
