Agreed the tip is hiden, but if your talking about it in the area we can see, then no, that is nirmal for their tails to be darker at the end.

I agree with Karrie
Believe it's tail shed..

Tail rot is when the tail blackens & attempts to fall off almost like a crested gecko except bearded dragons tails don't naturally come off like a crested gecko.

Crested Geckos tails can naturally tear off as they fend off predators.
My brother picked his up on accident while cleaning his tank
& his tail was dislodged...Lol
I got a kick out of it...
My brother kinda freaked out at the time.
Good thing he has a GF
She's a little more gentle on the little guy..
Its shedding but I need to see the end --- looking for nips bites or pinches something could cause tail ro

I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
