[QUOTE="KarrieRee, post: 2024142, member: 97951"] Is there any feeling in the tail - it does look like shed and I am not seeing any nips or pinches in the tail and that is sometimes what causes tail rot some sort of injury - let the tail do its thing I will post some info on tail rot and go from there also I dont see any black which would maybe indicate infection as well Causes of tail rot are: 1. Injuries/trauma - caused by falls, or by any other bearded dragon. 2. Malnourished - make sure he has a balanced diet and he gets the nourishment he needs How to identify tail rot: 1. Dried out - Decaying tail won't be able to retain moisture, check if it's dried out completely. 2. Very thin, brittle - Decaying tail won't be able to process nourishment, causing it to become more thin and brittle. What to do after finding out it has a tail rot: 1. Go to a vet - very recommended For more info, please see the link: [URL="https://reptile.guide/bearded-dragon-tail-rot/"]Bearded Dragon Tail Rot: What the Dark Tail Mean & Treatment[/URL] T Ask yourself these questions: Was the tail recently injured? Was a part of the tail open (eg wound/scrape/cut) Was flesh exposed? Is the tail constantly dark? or does the darkness ever go away (eg when in the tank, different environments) If you didn't answer yes to basically all of those questions, it's not tail rot. Tail rot is extremely rare. It's an infection of the flesh, from a wound or injury to the tail. Tail rot is really kind of just a fancy name for an infected wound, one of which is affecting the tail.ail Rot [/QUOTE]
