Infected toe or shedding toe?

Hey guys my Amber is shedding in more places (face legs tail and toes) she had a clutch about a week ago and she had a slight abrasion.

I'm unsure if it's infected or if it looks like that because she is shedding I just wanted to ask just to be sure.

Pics on the towel are pre-clutch and the other 2 are post clutch and I just took today

The red looks odd --- has the dragon caught it in a hammock or got it caught in something in the tank?

It looks a bit irritated but not bad. Maybe some raw honey or Neosporin on it but if it gets much worse then a vet for antibiotics.

Nope not that I know of the pic of her on the towel was a slight abrasion from nesting and digging in her laybox.

The other pics are from today she does have a hammock but barely uses it but she does from time to time

It's been over a week maybe 2 depending on when it occurred but it was definitely a slight cut/abrasion and it was during her getting ready to lay eggs which is what caused it.

I think I may just make a vet appointment to be on the safe side she normally will get abrasions on her palm but never on top of her hand.

Hello,

How is your dragon's toe, has it improved a lot? So, there was a cut on her finger, from digging, etc
after all that got infected? Let us know how the vet visit goes!

They checked her toe and said it's superficial but gave me ointment I need to apply 2 times a day and if it gets worse like turning black I need to bring her back asap

Hello,

That is good to hear they gave you some ointment to
put on the toe. I hope it helps out. I assume that it is
an antibiotic ointment or cream?
Keep us posted on her progress!

Aww your profile picture is precious ❤️‍🩹
Hey! I'm planning on ordering a 4x2x2 for my next beardie but I'm worried about lighting. I have a UVA and a UVB but they are small (the UVA just being a bulb and the UVB being 12 ish inches?) My house is drafty so I need a strong light that puts off quite a good amount of heat, any suggestions?
cookie event at my library today, quite fun! Made some bracelets for my comrades too, to give them at church in the morning. Got a busy day tomorrow even though I’m off work… i go back on tuesday so atleast I’ll have 2 days off to rewind….then back to hell lol
The head tilt tho! Aaaahhh
