Hi everyone,
I found these terrible looking spots on the bottom of my dragons toes. The same toe on each foot is affected by this. It looks really bad to me, I just noticed it today.
Left foot
Right foot
And the crazy thing about five weeks ago she was perfectly fine this was from Aug 18th
Perfect toes from what I can see.
She just went thru a shed a couple weeks ago. I've never noticed a problem on her shedding before. But the last week or so her outer toes seemed a little puffy or bigger than the others. I didn't think much of it but them noticed red scabs on the bottom of her feet today. I also can tell that there's a spot where it looks like the toe is being squeezed. I gave her a 20 minute soak and massaged with a toothbrush, but that did nothing. Then I was able to peel off some shed but I don't know if I made it worse or what. When I saw this I thought that I had to get the shed off or risk losing the toes, but this one toe, that looks like a fresh wound the shed was really stuck here. I did some more reading and found out I probably was a little too aggressive in trying to get it off. I just kind of freaked out, thought how painful that must be to be losing toes to constriction
So what is the deal here? Does it look like the shed was cutting into the toes, or any other problem? Was I right to peel some shed off? Is it possible to ruin the skin/scales as I am afraid I may have done too much in one spot (again I just was concerned about her losing these toes)?
