Help!!!!!! Today I noticed my dragon baby’s tail is a little bit dry. When I look through his tail with a flashlight I can see through the majority of the tail except for the tip. It looks also like the tail it’s a little bit bent on the end and it was not like this before. Is this shedding or is this the beginning of tail rot?

Yea it looks like it got hurt, use betadine in a ratio of 1 part betadine to 4 parts water, it’ll end up falling off, once it does keep it nice and clean and it shouldn’t spread anymore.

Also after the betadine bath get some raw unpasteurized honey on it a Manuka or any honey thats raw and unpasteurized will work - the honey is a micro bacterial that will kill any infection going --- DO NOT LEAVE CRICKETS IN THE TANK --
