What's wrong with her tale???

[Delilah - mybeardie]

So I just noticed today when I got Delilah out of her enclosure that her tale is darker than the reast of her. Now she did just shed and is still a little around her head... I'm a first time beardie owner and don't know what's wrong if it's normal sone advice please

It's normal for them to get a dark tail end at times, nothing wrong at all even though it looks odd.

Okay thank you so much... Since I've never had a bearded dragon before I have like a million new questions or concerns everyday .. just wanna do right by her

It's O.K, ask as many Q's as you want. It can sometimes be a little worrisome because their appearance and behavior can change pretty fast. No problem with Q's here, someone is usually ready to answer here at some point during the day.

Hello,

Definitely ask as many questions as you would like! We have a great group of members here who
are always so willing to help out.
Her tail tip is probably going to shed, it looks darker than normal which happens pre-shed. She is
a little cutie pie.

Yea she shed alot while I was at work today I gotta get in there and clean. Up her enclosure... What can I do to help her out she looks dry... And I feel bad because I can't just put the crickets in there before I leave for work so I put dubia s in her food bowl but idk if she's eating them or if they're getting out... She ain't gonna when I got home though and found out she loves yellow squash

I know it might look uncomfortable but's O.K if they look dry, they are from an arid environment. You can spritz her lightly in the enclosure but do that earlier in the day, never late in the day so she would have time to dry off completely as well as her tank + decor.
Can you post a pic of the tank, including the position of the lights ? I read in your bio that you have a 75 watt bulb as the uvb but that would be a basking bulb. So let's just be sure the lighting is O.K, that's one of the most important pieces of equipment.

 

[Delilah - mybeardie]

I got 75 watt basking and pro t5 24watt uvb funny you ask about that I just came back in my room and she was hanging upside down on the screen freaked me out idk how she even got up there

 

[AHBD]

O.K, that's good , I didn't see it listed in your bio. That's a great looking set up, beautiful + functional wood decor. It gives Delilah a large area to choose from to bask. And being like a little monkey she can jump up to her screen.
When she gets near adult size you'll probably need a larger enclosure.
