    Tail rot?

    Hi everyone, first off I am new here and don’t quite know how to use this site so hopefully I got this right and apologies if I didn’t! My two year old rescue girl developed this marking on her tail recently and it got me nervous. It’s interesting however that it’s only on the top, not the...

    Is it tail rot? Planning to go to the vet, what would that usually entail for treatment?

    My little buddy Pippin appears to have tail rot. I'm not entirely sure if that's the case but it seems to fit the profile. The end of his tail is lumpier, darker than the upper end, and somewhat stiff, and he appears to have some form of lesioning on the underside of the tail. Pics below...

    Please give me advice on the situation with my dragon at the moment!!

    I had this bearded dragon years ago and couldn’t care for it anymore, so we gave it to a friend. Recently that friend passed away and we got the lizard back, they had the lizard for about 1-2 years. And when we got the lizard back, I over heard that the lizards tail was “cracking”. I got worried...

    Tail rot or shedding?

    Hi, I have a 4 month old beardy, he/she's always had a slightly different coloured tail but recently it looks "washed out and has a distinct line at the base of the body. I'm unsure if this is just shedding? Stress? Or tail rot? I'll include pictures and appreciate any help

    Tail rot?

    Hello! This is Ike and we’ve only had him for about 3 weeks now (we found him outside). Vet gave him a clean bill of health a few days after we found him. But I noticed this last week his tail darkening. I’m worried it might be tail rot? He gets plenty calcium, protein, greens, UVB lighting, and...

    Tail Rot?

    When I first got my beardie he had a stubby, crooked little tail...probably bitten off by another little bud. I honestly didn’t notice at first because he was so small. He had his first vet visit probably in February/ March (because I was paranoid about some other stuff) and the vet said that it...

    Tail rot?

    I believe there is skin that failed to shed cutting off the circulation in the tip of my beardies tail. We are fairly new beardie parents and I’m just looking for direction. Does this look like tail rot and does it look like it’s going up his tail or just in the tip? He/she is eating well and...

    Update on Ember's tail

    Hi All, I just wanted to give everyone an update on Ember's tail. Earlier I posted a thread asking if Ember had tail rot or it was just pre-shed. Turns out it was just a shed, but I did notice one thing. The patterns are noticeably different than the rest of her tail. He now has a different sort...

    Is this tail rot? Or is this just pre-shed coloration? Or just a color change?

    Hi! How have you guys been?This past Friday 12/13 and Saturday 12/14, Ember’s tail started to darken. He has done this before when he got really upset and Black Bearded. But this isn’t tail rot is it? It also looks like he’s going to shed so maybe that’s it? UPDATE: I took him to the vet today...

    My beardy is definitely sick, can’t afford vet.

    So we have a two year old beardy that has recently become lethargic, has decreased appetite and now isn’t eating but still pees and poops. His tail is possibly rotting and I fear he has an infection. The temps are all good. Anyone have any suggestions of how we can help him?

    Kinked tail worsening.

    This is Maui, he's a big cuddle bug. I'm concerned about my baby, he had a kink in his tail when I got him from his previous owner, I've had him for roughly three years and it is suddenly getting worse? Looking closely at it I noticed that following the kink the colour goes slightly darker...

    Tail Rot?

    One week ago I got a 3 month old baby, and the breeder said it had something in it's Tail but that it was just something aesthetic, but now that I have her for a week, it looks quite weird and dark. Please tell me what you think, thank you.

    *NOT MY BEARDIE* Necrotic tail?

    My friend sent me this picture of a pets for sale group on Facebook and wanted to know if I thought that tail looked necrotic. My own beardie had tail necrosis before I adopted her and it looked similar as far as discoloration but it didn’t go nearly as far up as this one appears to. To me it...

    Is going to the vet necessary?

    My dragon has an injury on the end of his tail that has turned completely black over the last 2 weeks. Have been giving him betadine baths and rubbing neosporin on it twice a day and am not seeing any changes yet (only been doing it for a week). It's not spreading as of now, but not improving...
