I’m hoping that my bearded dragon has a little bit of a darker tail. It’s a little harder to see it when he’s dry, although it’s a lot more noticeable when he’s in the bath. I’m hoping it’s not tail rot. I got him 2 months and His tail pretty much looks the same from when I got him.To me his tail doesn’t look like it’s decaying and it doesn’t feel stiff. Please help if you can.

It looks like it going into shed - I dont see any nips or injuries - here is some info for you on tail rot
Causes of tail rot are:
1. Injuries/trauma - caused by falls, or by any other bearded dragon.

2. Malnourished - make sure he has a balanced diet and he gets the nourishment he needs

How to identify tail rot:
1. Dried out - Decaying tail won't be able to retain moisture, check if it's dried out completely.

2. Very thin, brittle - Decaying tail won't be able to process nourishment, causing it to become more thin and brittle.

What to do after finding out it has a tail rot:
1. Go to a vet - very recommended

he hasn’t hurt his tail since I’ve had him for the last 2 months, and since I work at a grocery store I find it easy to offer him a variety of greens. He was also in shed when I got him and finished shedding about a month ago. I already booked an appointment for next week as I will be going on vacation this week. I’m just a little concern with his tail. Thanks a bunch
