Hi Everyone,

Last week I got a young Bearded Dragon, 12 weeks old and I think s/he's great! One little concern I have, s/he was housed with another young Bearded Dragon before I got her (Clutch mate) and she has a little kink in her tail about 1" from the end of it. It goes off at almost a right angle and is looking really thin (The rest of the tail is fine).

Now aesthetically it doesn't bother me at all, but I was just wondering if this bit is going go completely dead and drop off, or if it will stay like that? If it will drop off, is there anything I need to do once it happens?

I will post some pictures up at the moment, my dad's out and he's the only person in the house who knows how to use his good camera!

Thanks,

Tom

Very cute, love the colours on the back.
my daughters two both had damaged tails when we got them, similar to yours. The damaged tips withered and dropped off within a few weeks, and seemed to cause no problems. we did not need to do anything

lovely wee beardie. i have seen a lot in rep shops with bent tails. but some have been kinks they have had since they hatched. and when i questioned the owners of the shops they have said its quite common!!!
