 Broken Tail?

I have a new Female red headed agama, she had been with us for 3 weeks now. 2 days ago she lost about 3 inches off her tail, she has been shedding, and also jumping all over the cage so i didn’t pay it too much attention, but today i notice she has lost another 1 1/2 inches. the rest of the tail looks healthy (what is left of it at least). I am awaiting a new Male to go in with her but now i want to make sure she is OK first. any thoughts?

It sounds as they she may be catching it on something. They will drop their tails if they feel threatened or in danger. Check for rocks that could roll onto it or tight gaps it may be geting caught in.
