    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I purchased a baby bearded dragon about six inches. I have recently noticed what looks like shriveled skin on the last few centimeters of her tail. On the underside of her tail were the shriveling starts it looks almost like a kink in her tail. A dark line like you would fold a hose in half. Any idea's what this could be? Coarse of action? I will be sure to post pictures.
 
Without seeing a picture, I can't be sure but it sounds like either a tail nip or the tail was crushed (most likely by a tank lid). This should have been disclosed by whoever sold it to you if it happened there. The tail tip should fall off in a few days. In the meantime, you can apply a very little hydrogen peroxide and/or triple antibiotic ointment to prevent infection. The dragon should be fine but if it looks like its becoming infected (the darkness is spreading past that dark line up the tail), you'll need to take her to a vet.
