Tail rot or just stuck shed?

[zonkey]

Forgive me for how many posts I make on here guys lol I just am so cautious about everything and want to do the best possible things for my beardie. anyways, quick backstory. She’s maybe 3-4yrs old according to the vet. Has MBD. Missing 4 toes. Was found in a Petco dumpster. So that’s why she looks well, like that. But I just wanted to ask about her tail… does this look like tail rot, or just stuck shed, ooooor I hear beardies will make their tails black sometimes as they do with other parts of their body ? Wanted to get some advice. I just gave her a bath in hopes of helping any shed if that is the case. In most cases I’ve seen of tail rot it looks pretty noticeable and nasty, but her tail as you can see is just like, black from what I can tell. but I don’t know. I wanted second opinions

Tail rot is caused by bites pinches or any type of injury -- looks like shed to me they can get really dark

Shed.

Tail rot is an infection typically stemming from an open wound.

Thank you guys, that makes sense. I have another unrelated question as well. This girl is a bit underweight. She is a good eater though, she loves dubia roaches and her salads etc.... butshould I be doing anything more to help her with gaining weight? Should I use Reptiboost or anything like that?

Ok feed those sparingly - they are very fatty and long term and too many can cause liver issues- try some super worms and horn worms
