Re: my water dragons tail is brown

A picture would help...

Is the tail dry and hard or limp and mushy by chance?

Tell us about your set up too...humidity etc?

You could try soaking the tail and rubbing it to get off any retained shed.

Re: my water dragons tail is brown

i did a search for that and came up with nothing. Can you post the link?

Thanks

But from your other post it sounds like your critters could use a herp vet checkup.

Re: my water dragons tail is brown

You can not link to YouTube from this site. Too much garbage!

Its possible it is a shedding situation and if so the soaks are your best bet. However a tail that is darkening and looks to be drying out is indicative of a far more serious situation. Keep a close eye on it.
