It doesn’t that was first thing I checked for. does his tail look okay?
It's not too bad . the betadine treatment will prevent it from getting worse and help it heal aswell as the manuka . Get the betadine asap should prevent any possible Rot or Infection . Keep applying the neosporin should clear up possible chance it can dry out and fall off but he will be okay just keep treating it
I agree use the Betadine on it but I would recommend making it look like a weak tea betadine is pretty strong -- and using the honey here is some info on the honey

Hes about 6 months old tank is 40 gallons basking temp is about 103 and temp in other spots are about about 84 his uvb bulb I forget the name I think zoomed thoI agree use the Betadine on it but I would recommend making it look like a weak tea betadine is pretty strong -- and using the honey here is some info on the honey
Manuka works really good -- but you want raw unpasteurized honey --- keep watch on the tail if it starts to get black and starts creeping up the tail he will need to go to the vet --- if you haft to take pics of it so you can keep better track of it - hes not eating what are you using for a UVB brand and bulb and the basking temps what are they and how are you taking them? Age of the dragon please? Size of the tank ?Honey - Bacteria's Worst Enemy! | Health
Some of you might have seen the suggestion on this site every once in awhile to put some honey on an open sore, or to place it over an infection. This might sound strange, but honey truly is a great anti-bacterial. It can really come in handy in a pinch while you wait for a vet visit, or simply...

Ok this bulb is EXTREMELY important --- this is what controls the eating -- he needs good UVB NO coils for him to absorb/ synthesize the calcium hes taking in -- you want 3 temps in the tank -- basking temps 95-110 -- middle of tank 90's and cool side 80's -- nite time not below 65--- temps need to be taken w/ a digital probe thermometer-- please tell me if its a coil or tube ?
I’m pretty sure it is 2 tubes in a downward way not just one tube
that sounds like a coil please post a pic of it and if it is you need to replace it ASAP--
Will do currently away with a friend watching him so right when I get back I will replace it
This is his tail after honey do you think it looks okay still waiting on new uvb to come in
Keep up w/ the honey and keep eye on it so black does not move up- the tail - I am thinking that end part is gonna fall off then you still want to put honey on it till it scabs over
Okay thank you!!
