Mine goes in pieces. She will do tail first then body. But she goes through shed a lot since they grow so fast as babies. Very pretty dragon!

My beardie's tail is often off-color because she sheds the body and tail separately. If it's the same for you, I would assume that's the cause!

If it doesn't begin shedding, I would check with the vet
If it starts looking like its drying out real brittle and doing other funky things that would be vet time -- it can take awhile for shed to come off a tail -- they can take longer -- just keep a eye on it -- you can check to see if she has feeling in the end by pinching it --

Don't pinch too hard though! If she can feel it, you don't want to hurt her!
