hi there! Mushu is a two year old standard morph. His nail on his left foot seemed to get bent in a way a couple months ago but I monitored him and he walks on it just fine and doesn’t seem to be in any pain. However, just this week the nail looks like it almost has a blood clot in it. He still walks on it fine but I’m worried.

It's good that Mushu is not bothered by it so you know it's not painful. Do you trim his nails ? You can cut the tip off and that would likely make it less likely that he might snag it on something and cause it to bleed. Even if that were to happen though it's nothing serious and Mushu will be fine. :)

If you decide to snip his nails there are youtube videos that show exactly how to do it.

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
