What does it mean if your bearded dragon's tail is turning black?

If your bearded dragon's tail is turning black, it could indicate stress, illness, or a potential injury. Blackening can be a sign of inadequate basking temperatures, shedding issues, or a more serious health concern such as tail rot or infections. It's essential to monitor other symptoms and environmental conditions, and consult a veterinarian if the discoloration persists or worsens. Prompt attention can help prevent further health complications.
