Beardy Toe Lost Nail, Regrowing?

Awhile back my beardy lost her nail, I wanna say back in November. It was pretty random, I’m not sure how it even happened. Asked the vet about it, he said the nail probably won’t grow back. Well looking at it today it looks kind of weird. You guys think the nail is growing back? Or is that bone… it wasn’t there before.

their nails can’t regrow, so might likely what you are seeing is just a scale covering the wound up.

Nails don't regrow in bearded dragons. When we brought my bearded dragon home we noticed he was missing a fingernail and that's when he was 2 months old. Now he's five months old, and his nail has not grown back, and I don't think it ever will.

I wouldn't be concerned. If it starts swelling or something.
That could be a concern.

Same with my guy.

This is what it looks like now… it looks longer.. it must be bone then, right? Should she go to the vet and then maybe they’d like amputate it off or something??

Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
