tail rot?

[sarie]

this is my baby beardie. he is around maybe 2-3 months old. is his tail developing tail rot? i dust his dubias with d3 calcium five days a week. he gets multivitamins twice a week. when he’s older i plan to cut down on the d3 and give him both calcium with d3 and without d3. he also eats collar greens, blueberries, kale, spinach, and other greens.

someone also mentioned that his tail looks weirdly bent. i can move the end of it and it stays that way. it’s bendy. idk why and i’m a little concerned.

It looks like shed coming on --- here is some infor for you on tail rot -- tails can get dark on the very end but unless you can answer the questions below w/ a NO then you are good
Causes of tail rot are:
1. Injuries/trauma - caused by falls, or by any other bearded dragon.

2. Malnourished - make sure he has a balanced diet and he gets the nourishment he needs

How to identify tail rot:

1. Dried out - Decaying tail won't be able to retain moisture, check if it's dried out completely.

2. Very thin, brittle - Decaying tail won't be able to process nourishment, causing it to become more thin and brittle.
What to do after finding out it has a tail rot:
1. Go to a vet - very recommended

T Ask yourself these questions:
Was the tail recently injured?
Was a part of the tail open (eg wound/scrape/cut)
Was flesh exposed?
Is the tail constantly dark? or does the darkness ever go away (eg when in the tank, different environments)
If you didn't answer yes to basically all of those questions, it's not tail rot.
Tail rot is extremely rare. It's an infection of the flesh, from a wound or injury to the tail.
Tail rot is really kind of just a fancy name for an infected wound, one of which is affecting the tail.ail Rot
