Ur pic isn’t that great can u post a few more from different angles, her tail tip looks (not great) , order a product called “betadine” its an antiseptic and owners use it for tail/scale rot, you should have this on hand regardless if shes sick or not(its human grade so if u get a cut aswell) the ratio is 5 parts water to 1 part solution, make shure you dilute it down, dont do anything till i can confirm its rot , it could’ve just been the lighting was bad, can u post a picture of the tank aswell?

Her tail was like that when I got her a few weeks ago and it hasnt gotten any worse i think it may just be a nip bc she was kept in a tank with other beardies,, also her tail started to shed later in the day so it must have just been she was angry lol.

If i may id still like to see , im in no way trying to shame you or be condescending, it just looked a little weird to me, my beardy has had tail rot from a nip so i know what it looks like,... my beardy was shedding her tail for like a month , sometimes it takes a while especially if its colder in ur state.

Thats stress, in babies their bellies will look like cheta print and their tails get dark grey, do you have backgrounds in ur tank? He could be seeing his reflection and thinking someone is in there with him.

Here the tank. Sunny is kinda weird when she wakes up she will be really dark and have stress marks but as she warms up they go away. During the days very VERY faint little marks, like i can barely see them and most of the time there are none. Then at like 6 ish she will start to get them again, I let her out 2 times a day for 30 min each and she loves exploring, she's never hissed or ran away from me and ive been holding her since i got her. I hand feed her collards and sometimes her dubia's i let crawl on my hand and she'll scurry up and get them.

Just bathing her in shallow warm water from 90-100f in 5 minutes will help her shed easily.

Her tail does look perfectly healed, it was just the lighting in the last pic i guess, and you do have multiple hides and a blankie thats good. do you ever offer her outside sunshine? Its recommend (If ur able) i understand If u live in a big city or something. if theres any new symptoms make a post, you might want to review how old your bulbs are , ive gotten brand new bulbs and have the uvb not work.

If it’s below 50 I wouldn’t , i dont let my girl outside when it gets cold, she gets so mad and runs around the house and gives everyone stink eye.

If you have a window you can put her in to get the nice warm sunshine that could suffice (some of the uvb gets filtered out by the glass)

Looks like shes just shedding.

Also about the darkness, she is just uncomfortable due to the itchy shed starting to come off.

My house stays at about 64 upstairs but i have a little thing in my room that blows hot air up from the fire downstairs so its pretty warm.
