Tail question!

So I read somewhere that the base of a bearded dragon's tail (along with the rest of it I guess) needs to be hard and firm, and if it's soft/squishy, it means they need more calcium in their diet.

Now, my dragon's tail has been firm before and squishy before going along with a changed diet but I try to give him calcium dusted worms one or twice a week. Is that enough, does he need more? His tail is a little soft at the sides right now.https://9apps.ooo/

IS your dragon chunky? They can hold a layer of fat in their tails too, which obviously will make the tail feel softer.

You really aren't going to be able to tell if a dragon needs more calcium by feeling the "softness" of it's tail bone.

Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
