Broken/dislocated toe

[Purdo]

I've noticed one of the toes on my beardie is bent upwards. He doesn't seem to be in pain but is quite young so is still a little nervous about being handled so I can't check it. Doesn't look swollen or infected. Would I be able to pull gently and put it back in place? Any help or advice would be much appreciated. Thanks

For some reason it uploads but won't let me submit it, no submit tab.

That's the XIMG link if this helps

And now it's worked haha ?

It worked --- do you have a green mesh hammock in the tank?

 

[Purdo]

No have a small rope type corner one

Ok it is possible he got it caught in that rope -- we often recommend the fleece type or cloth type hammocks

Hello,

That definitely does look broken, poor guy!
It seems like a lot of dragons get injuries such as this, on those hammocks. We usually
recommend fleece or fabric types of hammocks to avoid them getting their claws caught
up in them.
Does it seem to be bothering him any?

Not at all, he's moving freely and let's me touch it
