[Rivensdad]

The top part of her tail appears to be part of her shed. The tip almost looks like she may have been nipped by another beardie.

Yes it looks dead - you need to watch for infection - if it starts to move up the tail you will need to go into the vet--- sometimes it will fall off in the meantime you can get some raw unpasteurized honey and put it on the end - do not feed crickets in the tank they will go straight for the tail

Put it on the part where it ends on the tail- upwards toward the base - keep pics of it so you can see if it's changing

You can also soak the tail in a betadine solution make it look like a tea
