Is this normal? I've noticed her long toe has like a ball towards the end. I'm not sure how long it's been but its the same color as everything else. It moves and she puts weight like normal. I don't think its retain shed because every time she sheds I make sure to check each toe. Idk if I should be concerned since it's not black. Anyone have a beardie with this?

It's possibly an injury at the nail that caused some swelling. They sometimes get their nails stuck in things like carpet, hammocks, or other furniture around the tank and when they pull on it, it causes damage. I would keep a close eye on other fingers and joints in general though and post if you see it in more than one spot down the road. If it's just that toe it's likely to heal up on it's own. I don't see signs of an open wound which is good.

Ok, thank you so much for your reply. I appreciate it. And she has a log that I hear her nails scratch on it when she climbs up and down. Maybe its that?

You should take them to the vet. They will be able to confirm. What might have cause it and what you might have to do to keep the healthy

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
