Spreading tail rot

[Lonwolf]

Hello everyone, I posted a few months ago asking whether my baby beardie had tail rot or not, and I was told then it was probably just shed, but now it seems to have climbed his tail , what should I do( he just shed his tail a week ago)

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

T Ask yourself these questions:
Was the tail recently injured?
Was a part of the tail open (eg wound/scrape/cut)
Was flesh exposed?
Is the tail constantly dark? or does the darkness ever go away (eg when in the tank, different environments)
If you didn't answer yes to basically all of those questions, it's not tail rot.
Tail rot is extremely rare. It's an infection of the flesh, from a wound or injury to the tail.
Tail rot is really kind of just a fancy name for an infected wound, one of which is affecting the tail.ail Rot



To me it looks like shed --- if its black and thin looking brittle its possible but ask the above questions and it will give you an answer

Is It possible he is just getting a little darker as he grows?
It doesn't look very dry, and not injured.
My thoughts would be he is getting his mature colours, but he is definitely a different kind of dragon than mine, so, take the precautions you need to for this beautie
