Ideally temps. should be 65-70 at night. I'd mist the tail or soak him to get the retained shed off. If left on too long it can restrict blood flow to the tail.

hey,i've misted his tail and him for the last few days and i gave him a bath 2 days ago..i kept him in there for about 10 minutes..warm water,but not too hot..his tail looked normal colored when i put him in the water,but it turns back to white everytime..how can i get it off without hurting him??also,thanks for the info bdlvr,how many beardies have you owned or own now??

I'd continue to mist and bath until the skin comes off on its own. If it's not ready and you try to peal it you could damage the skin underneath.

I have 12 dragons here right now ranging from 7 weeks to adults. I have one rescued dragon that is being cared for by a retired vet because he has so many problems. I hope to see him back here in maybe a few weeks if he makes it.
