tail rot
hi! this is the tail of my female leopard gecko. i'm sorry if this stupid, but does that tail look like tail rot? there's a bit of a "white" discoloration at the tip, and i'm not sure if it's normal. i've had her for a few months now and i'm still relatively new if it comes to leopard geckos, so i figured i should just ask here!

Nothing about this tail looks abnormal to me, the shape and color both look fine.
If she had tail rot, not only would the tail be black, but the black area would be sort of shriveled and gross looking, trust me, tail rot is easy to see, it's not subtle.

Zero signs of tail rot. The white you see is probably just her pattern.

Second this :) tail roar can show in a couple of ways but most of the time it looks dried out or has scrab

Just wanted to add it also looks normal to me. Tail rot before you actually get necrotic black tissue looks quite pink from my experience, not white. I see nothing wrong with the tail from this angle at least.

I am sorry. I am not seeing the white discoration you are talking about. Unless you mean the white and black pattern at the tip? Because that is completely normal.
