Those are the femoral pores on your fella...
What she said ^^^^^ But If you are talking about the darkness, it's shedding you can see it down the tail and the legs. Give some good soaks and after about 5-10 minutes take a baby tooth brush and gently brush the area to help loosen the skin.

Darkness what she said ^^^^ lol Warm soaks are great to help with the shedding process.
The darkness you are talking about would that be the green parts? I did soak him today and used a tooth brush. The tip of his tail doesn't look like it is going to make it. I think he has too much stuck shed for too long around it.
It just looks dark in the pictures. Do you have a picture of his tail? You could use something called Reptile Shedding aid to help loosen the shed. Also a little bit of coconut oil rubbed on may help. Just make sure you do it at night when the lights are going to go out because you don't want them to burn under the lights.

Yea show us a picture of his tail that is in question...good warm soaks, the shed aide, coconut oil at night.. I think with alittle extra attention all will turn out ok..
Izzy had the very tip of her tail pinched somehow before me maybe stuck under something at petco But it was like a 90 degree angle.. after about a month it fell off and all is fine.

ooooh - i LOVE coconut oil - use it for sooooo much !! My girl just lost the tip of her tail too. I kinda knew it was coming - one day it was at a 90 degree angle, so i just snapped it off, put on some neosporin and she hasnt missed a lick.

Oh I tried to snap it off and she swung around and gave me the WTH look opps guess it still had some feeling to it ...... so I just let it be and it came off on it's own.. Sorry Izzy
didn't mean to hurt ya...
If the tip of the tail was dead it would be black this isn't dead. Religiously rub it with coconut oil, mineral oil or shed ease. Scrub it with a tooth brush, do what you can to try to get it off, don't pull at it though.
