My bearded dragon of 6 years, Aero, has a concerning looking tail. She shed recently, but the shed wasn't the smoothest she's ever had. I've been giving her plenty of long baths recently to help with anything left over, but the tail just looks weird. I'm not sure if it's just a crappy shed, or if it's tail rot. Just in case, I've been giving her the aforementioned long baths to help with a possible crappy shed, and I've been soaking her tail in diluted betadine and then applying Neosporin (original, no pain relief) after it dries.
She also hasn't been acting weird, she's energetic, has a healthy appetite, normal bowel movement schedule, always has a happy orange beard, and doesn't seem to be uncomfortable or in pain if I touch the weird part of her tail. She hasn't had any tail injuries in the past few years. And she's housed alone, so there's nobody to nip at her tail. She has a diet of squash, dandelion greens, a little strawberry, sometimes a little apple, superworms, etc.
It hasn't been very long, so the betadine probably wouldn't be able to show quick results. But I was wondering if this is tail rot, and for any advice you guys might have.
The tail looks shiny in the photos because of the Neosporin.
