Answer
Hello Jason,

Is your dragon's mouth pale & white in color?  How do the eyes look, are they sunken in at all?
He is either in major pain or distress or is extremely ill.
What type & brand of UVB are you using, a flourescent tube bulb or a compact or coil light?  How old is it?
What type of basking light are you using?
Do you have a vet nearby?  Try looking at  www.herpvetconnection.com  to find a vet near you that might be able to help.
The end of the tail being dark is not a good thing though.  I hope that his liver is not failing.  
What type of diet does he have?
