Darkening of scales

[jcd95]

Hi guys, I need some help. My beardie is 10 months old, he hasn't changed diet neither environment. He's not fallen either.
But as you can see, his tail is turning a darker colour. He is also puffing his beard out quite frequently; more frequent than usual. Do anyone know what this may be? I'm super worried!

It could be a bit of stuck shed or it could be nothing. Keep an eye on it if it gets worse I would have a vet check it out. One of mine has always had a darker tail tip and she also has those spots on her tail and she's fine.

Is the missing tail end a newer thing or something that happened ages ago?
