Crooked claw?

[Nikki.D]

So I am giving my bearded dragon a bath and I notice on one of his front left claws that the claw closest to his neck looks crooked. I don't know if it is normal because all his other claws are fine. Is this bad? What should I do?

Does he use it - it doesnt look that bad--- and are you using a hammock in the tank? That could be a problem if its a green mesh or the grass ones

He doesn't seem to mind it or notice it. He does have a hammock in his enclosure, however, it is not green mesh. The hammock looks like this: Thanks for replying

It does look a bit out of alignment. It's possible that it was caught on something and got twisted up. It's not likely to pose a problem unless it becomes infected. Keep an eye out for signs of pain when putting pressure on it or reluctance to use that hand. Swelling or bleeding could also indicate a problem that warrants a closer look, but otherwise I'd just let it be. It might be a good idea to swap out the hammock or cover it with some fleece that won't be as likely to snare nails if it continues to be a problem.
