I recently got a new beardie, (July 16th) and I've been noticing that he had some black on his tail and it was kind of 'kinked' At first I thought the tail might of got bent on something when he was at petsmart, but now I'm starting to fear tail rot.
I've been keeping an eye on it and it doesn't appear to 'spread' as I've read in other places. I'd rather be safe then sorry, and that's why I'm posting this.
Here's a picture of his tail:
As you see it's lighter then darker. ^ then it's bent. I know I read somewhere on this forum that their tails do get darker near the end... But I'm not sure if this is the case. I haven't really seen tail rot before in detail, I just assumed it would be a darker end. It looks a bit more bent in real life, but not like super bad. I can try to get another picture if needed.
Could it maybe be retained shed?
Hope it's normal.
Thanks in advance.
