Beardies Tail

[Pat B]

Some of you know my history with Spikes tail so I don't go there. He is doing well, eats well, poops, basks where he should. I have been bathing him about every other day and I have been taking a gentle brush and brushing his tail for possible shedding that wasn't done. I have attached 2 pics of his tail. The very tip is black and hard and haven't touched it. I am going to 'assume' that when his tip is healed it will drop off. I put neosporin on about once a day. Am I doing the right thing or does he need to go a vet. I don't see any abnormal behavior. Thanks.

It looks like he's healing normally. If it looks 'open' at any time - that's when I would start to consider a vet trip...

 

[Pat B]

Thank you thank you....it doesn't look open and it isn't seeping anything. I will continue with the warm baths and soft brush. He looks funny without a full tail!

I agree that it appears to be healing well.

 

[Pat B]

I have been waiting for you to answer!! Thank you....I feel much better now!

 

[Pat B]

oh...forgot to tell you....I saw a picture of another stub tailed beardie so it didn't make me feel so bad....

 

[Germ]

There are lots around, I have one too.

 

[Pat B]

LOL....so you do!! Now for sure I don't feel so bad. Those skinny little tails sure are fragile!!

Are those beardies Heinz 57 variety? They are all so different looking!

 

[Germ]

Yup, pretty much, the only one that I 'Know' the lineage or Bloodline of is the male on the left, Demonicus (Demon) & it is Double Normal/Sandfire x True Sandfire/Blood cross.

Sandy, the next one over, I got as a really skinny little lady from a Pet Store, that some one had brought to them because they couldn't keep them anymore at 7 Months, had been housed with a much larger male & wasn't in the best of shape. As usual they had no background, but is pretty much just a normal, there weren't many Colorful BDs back then.

Dinah (F) & Arrow (M) were 2 rescues, so no info on them. Dinah definitely is a Normal & Arrow has some nice coloring.

The 2 on the left are the ones that I have eggs in the 'Cooker' from.

 

[Pat B]

Looks like you did a good job on Sandy....she is a little 'chunker". Thanks for sharing and showing pictures of your beardies.

what does Heinz 57 mean in regards to beardies? i see that term everywhere but i have no idea what it means!

Hienz57 is a meat sauce with 57 different ingredients. The term has been used for many years to describe animals of mixed breeds, originally in reference to dogs, but has been carried over to animals in general of questionable or mixed lineage . The term is so old that it could have been written on MY crib, lol.

Quote from 'The Urban Dictionary'

Hienz 57

Hienz 57 is a slang word (not actually a slur) for someone who is of many different ethnic groups.
Me I am part Mexican, Spanish, Italian, Irish and Japanese.
Or Tiger Woods who is every race White, Black, Asian, and American Indian. We would both be called Hienz 57.

That must mean the term is ancient

You're probably right. They hate that we even put ketchup on things.

Hm, did I miss the thread on how it happened ???

It always seems like the ones with the stubby tails are the ones that are more loving. Midna has a stubby tail. She got it from when she was a baby. One of her sisters bit it off (happened when the previous owner had her). She and other stubbies that I have handled are sooooo sweet! Heres her pic!

That last pic of the top of the base of the tail looks just like Midna in that area!

Probably, I'm sure you could do a search and figure it out, but at her request, we're not mentioning it any more.
