Does her toe look alright?!

[StaceysBuddy]

So long story short... My Buddy had her first batch of eggs about a week ago. Very unexpected. While she was burying the eggs back in, she kind of messed up her toe. I have another thread going and it was brought to my attention that this could be a lot more serious than I thought. I would appreciate any opinions. Does it look like it's rotting? Will it be okay after she sheds it again? Should I be putting anything on it?
It never bled and she doesn't seem to be in any pain. No limping or anything.

She also chipped tiny bits of her mouth, which is in current shed. That toe is the worst of it.

Thanks!
Stacey & Buddy

Whatever you do, don't use peroxide as it damages scales. Looks to me like it should heal fine. I would keep an eye on it and if it looks like it's progressively getting worse, I would go to an exotic vet.

Hello,

You can use some diluted betadine on the area, along with some antibotic ointment daily. The nail looks a little off.
She probably hurt it while digging to lay her eggs. Is she done laying her eggs?

She is done laying her eggs.. for now anyway. Only one clutch so far but she isn't acting funny or anything.
It did happened when she was digging because it wasn't like that before the eggs. It's still fine. Doesn't mind me touching it and it's not spredding. I think I'm okay. Just really wanted to make sure it wasn't a big deal!
I just hope her foot sheds soon so I can see what it looks like afterwards. Do you think the "toe-scale" will grow back? Cause she is missing one. You can see it in the picture.

I just noticed that the scale was missing. I would think it would grow back with a little time. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
