Tail rot?

[Ella St John]

Hi my beardie had her tail nipped of when she was with other babies with her previous owner and I was just wondering if she had tail rot as it doesn't look right to me. She sheds her tail fine as you can see there is still some left at the tip.

In my opinion it doesn't look bad to me, I would keep an eye on it to see if things clear up. Looks like stuck shed at the top, how about some good warm soaks in the tub with a baby toothbrush to see if that comes off. Just keep an eye on the tip and it if turns black or raw or smells seek a reptile vet ASAP. You can also do a very diluted betadine (iodine) solution diluted to look like a weak tea to help cleanse..

Looks like stuck shed to me too. A nice soak and maybe some pure aloe on the tail will help get it off.

That's just stuck shed. Bathe her and gently use a baby tooth brush to help.
Bayne had 3cm of his tail amputated due to tail rot. Let me see if I can find a close up picture of what his looked like.
