Tail rot or shedding

I'm probably being paranoid but I recently got my daughter a baby bearded dragon and I'm worried that he might have tail rot. He is 3 month old.
Info:
Tank specs are 56"Lx20"Dx22"H. I have a Reptisun T5 10.0 without a reflector mounted in the tank. Basking bulb is 75w. Temps in the basking area stay between 103-110, middle of the tank is 90, cool side is 80-85, and under his hide is about 76. I have three digital thermometers and hygrometers on each side and the middle of the tank. He is fed mostly dubia gut loaded with collard greens, apple slices, and strawberries. They get dusted 5 times a week with calcium and twice with multi. He also is fed BSFL, silkworms, hornworms, and collard greens. I haven't been able to get him to eat any fruits yet. He gets a bath 5 times a week. Humidity in the tank can get low 20%ish I set up a humidifier beside it to help with it, also put a aloe plant in with him that I mist couple times a day.

Hi there, beautiful tank you have there ! Where did you get your baby from ? As for the tail , I can't tell in that pic so put him on a solid color background to make the tail stand out.

Hiccup he is 6 and Blaze is 4
I would suggest getting a reflector for your UVB --- those rays need to be directed downward toward him for best health --- distance should be 12-15 inches for a T 5

Thank you so much!!!

Karen I’m confused, I was going by this chart I found when I built the enclosure. If I put a reflector on the t5 10.0 light the numbers would be in the red with the distance to his basking spot (12”). Would that be too much or can I add the reflector?

Thanks
Matt

I think his lighting is good. If you want to add some aluminum foil behind half of it then you'll have one side that reflects just a little bit more uvb .

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!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
