Tail rot ???

[amarie.clavell]

Hello
We recently just received our little bearded dragon on dec.14. He is about 3 1/2 months old and we got him from a breeder. Does it look like he has tail or is it his color. I am very paranoid so wanted others opinion.

That is not tail rot, this is tail rot...

See how dark and crooked the end of his tail is. I need to take him to the vet.

It looks like shed -- tail rot is when the tail is black and dried out looking -- it becomes brittle and is caused by clutch mates biting it or getting pinched in a door etc-- keep an eye on it if the end starts to get black or turns black and gets dried out looking post back here -- in the mean time if need be take pics of it and watch but it really looks like shed
