Bad Tail?

Absolutely.

Just in case there is more infection that you cannot see (under the skin), you really need to take him in and get him checked out by a reliable HERP vet.

LadyOhh hit the nail on the head.

You might do well to call the vet first and specify the issue at hand and ask if the vet has seen this prior.

I have gone to 4 different vets...the first one 'loved herps' unfortunatly she also wanted to prescribe Ivermectin to our beardie (which is contraindicated)...the list goes on.

But since there is no current Herp Vet Specialty Liscense you have to ask questions and be prepared to have a very open communication line with the vet you choose.:)

From the pics it looks like dead tissue...like our guys tip....but that is a large area and a second set of eyes (other than your own worried ones;)) in person could go a long way to confirm he will make it through without a bunch more worrying.:gj:

Thanks everyone i am coming to rely upon this forum more and more i have a specialised herp vet in my area and wil book an apointment to see him today

Thanks again
