Broken toe???

[KarrieRee]

Does this toe look broke? https://beardeddragonforum.com/attachments/img_20190706_161920899-jpg.20565/

It's hard to tell. A lot of times dragon toes look weird like that.
Is he acting like it's broke? Not wanting to put pressure on it?

No-- is not favoring it

Is this hiccup?
Do you know what could have caused it? If it is broken, their isn't really much to be done that i'm aware of.

They can get their toes & nails caught in those mesh hammocks.

Here is another pic of that toe-- if its broke is there something that can be done for it ? And there is no hammock in the tank and carpet is being replaced

That does look oddly curled. An x-ray would help to determine the extent of damage but I think the main concern would be infection. They can do pretty well with missing or malformed toes. I'm not sure there is a whole lot to be done. It might be possible to immobilize it, but I think watching for swelling or other signs if infection setting in should be more of the focus for now.
