PLEASE HELP NAIL FELL OUT

[SweetSpicyDragon]

Okay, so I had him outside and suddenly I noticed he didn't have a nail? Ifound it and I'm kind of terrified, is this normal, will he be alright?

Hello,

Sorry your post got missed!
How is your dragon doing? It looks like he definitely ripped his little
nail out. It doesn't look infected in the pictures. You can use some
raw, unpasteurized honey, or antibiotic ointment on the area, if it
looks like it might be getting infected.
Has he seemed to be in any pain? He will be ok, but I'm not sure he
will have it grow back or not, if it ripped out the entire nail bed/or
cuticle.
Do you have a mesh hammock in his tank? They are notorious for
causing injuries like this.

Let us know how he is doing.

He's doing really good now, you can't see into his toe anymore. I took out his hammock for a while to keep him from pulling anymore nails, and he's been putting the toe back down on the ground again. I'm glad he's okay
