Swollen finger

I noticed today that Nami has a swollen finger and It does seem to be causing her just a little pain. She hasn't shed recently so I don't think it's anything related to that.

Any ideas on what caused it? And is there anything I need to do to help it get better?

Due to the light coloring on the finger, it's possibly just going through a shed. Shedding can cause their fingers/hands/arms to swell up temporarily until the old skin breaks free, then returns to normal. Something to keep an eye on, especially if you see other patches that are shedding.

An update, it seems to be worsening and there's red at the base and tip of her nail. I'm concerned its infected and The soonest I can get her to a vet is the 24th. Is there anything I should/can do to prevent it from getting any worse?

I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
