I'm a new bearded dragon owner and have much to learn. I have 2 baby beardies at home that are doing well. The beardie I'm posting about is older and resides in a classroom at the school I work at. She was cared for by a student during the summer and she came back in ok condition. About 2 days after school started, I noticed her right rear foot seemed swollen, with 1 or 2 noticeable lumps that are somewhat hard, and her 2 first toes are crooked. Upon turning her over, I noticed a very hard lump underneath her foot but I'm not sure if it's a part of her or something stuck so I didn't pull on it. Her behavior seems normal other than the fact she doesn't like the swollen foot messed with much. I soaked it in warm water and used a soft toothbrush to lightly rub, but she was eventually irritated so I have since left her alone. Ive attached images of the foot. Any similar experiences and help are much appreciated. Thank you!
