I'm really worried with my baby Yemen's tail, i don't know what to do...

Noticed this when she completely shaded the tail...
It has been like this for 4 days, but i thing the dead zone is increasing... Sad

Take her to the vet hun that tail end is dead, maybe due to a bad shed and skin constricting the flow of blood, the necrotic tissue will creep up her whole tail and the infection will kill her sorry to be blunt.

Sorry for the long wait guys...
She should be fine Very Happy

I went to the vet (a reptile specialized one), the tail was much better, he said the rotten part will fall, but she will survive and should not have any infections. The tail is much more clean Wink

He also said she is fat and healthy. Smile
