Tail rot?

[KarrieRee]

Ok thanks! Do you think that the way his beard is sort of bulbous is normal?

His beard looks fine

I think I want to put tile in his enclosure and I saw an old post where you talked about what you did with your enclosure's tile. Do you think this would work: https://www.lowes.com/pd/DELLA-TORRE-Kinabalu-5-Pack-Black-Wood-Look-Porcelain-Common-Actual-47-05-in-x-7-75-in/1002654328
Did you get Someone to cut the tile to size for you?

Does sweet potato need to be cooked? I noticed on the beautiful dragons link it says cooked sweet potatoes? Also, what about butternut squash, does it need to be cooked?

Beans had some undigested BSFL in his poop today. I have ordered large ones, but the ones I have left are medium. I hope its just that he's swallowing them whole? His poop was also kind of watery but I had fed him some butternut squash for the first time today. His basking temps are 105-110.

If he eats the BSFL to fast they will come out undigested --- add a few at a time like 10 then that will control the eating so fast and your controlling it -- then slowly add more and yes squash can make them have runnier poop

I noticed this thing little sqiggly line on him today. Have you ever seen anything like that before? It could be food or hair or something I haven’t tried to scrub it off or anything I just noticed it looks almost like a burst blood vessel

Looks like shed-

I noticed that one side of his lip is a little bit swollen today and it almost looks like a little bit shiny. I’m attaching a picture but it’s kind of hard to see. He has been shedding on his nose and stuff so I’m hoping this is just his lips shedding do they look kind of swollen a little bit when they shed?

Hello,

The beard looks normal to me. He is very handsome. It does look like he is going to shed possibly. A layer of fluids gathers beneath
the scales causing it to appear puffy or swollen. I think he will be just fine.

Thanks Tracie! That makes me feel better, I worry about every little thing since this is all new to me.
