Beardie Toe!!! What is it????

[beardieluv73]

Ok so this morning I noticed a brown lump on the tip of my beardie's toe. There isn't any sign of a restricted shed. He's two years old, and his basking spot is at 100 degrees. I am on vacation with him right now, so I wasn't able to bring his UVB, which is regularly a Reptisun 10.0. I have been feeding him superworms (he won't eat crickets) and greens daily. Here's a pic:

It may be nothing, but I don't want to take any chances.

I guess I don't see it...What are you talking about? I see a normal dragon foot/toe...

Is he walking funny, or not using that foot?

It's on the middle toe right near the nail. He's walking on it, and it doesn't seem to hurt him when I touch it. It's a brownish yellowish lump with scales covering it.

It looks like a slightly damaged spot, or a "boo boo". Just keep an eye on it, it should be fine!

Here's an outline...

Just to be safe, you could just put a dab of Neosporin on it.

Maybe it's a bruise...But if he's using it just fine, then I would think there wouldn't be much to worry about.

I'll have to check my guys toes to see if I see anything like that...(Too bad I can't take as clear of a picture...WOW :shock: )

I'd be less concerned with the bumb on his toe, and more about his nails. It looks like they've been cut back into the quick and are kind of shredded. D:
