Concerned about dark end of tail

[Fenton]

Hi

My dragons tail shed last week and I don't think the tip shed. I've bathed her a couple of times and sprayed but it seems no better.
It's quite dark but I can't tell if there's retained shed or not. She can move her whole tail fine and does not seem to be in any pain.

Anyway, here's a pic, I'd appreciate any advice, thanks

it doesn't appear to be dry, brittle or necrotic. Does it seem unable to bend slightly or does it feel like the rest of the tail, only slightly darker?

That doesnt really look abnormal to me. Many dragons tail ends are darker than the rest of their body in my experience. As long as it is stiff, rigid, or dry/dead feeling i think you are fine. If you are afraid it is retained shed you could use some pure aloe on it or some type of shed ease solution.

Hi, it can bend easily and it feels no different than the rest of the tail.

Thanks, I'll keep an eye on it and maybe put some aloe on it anyway.
