How old is your beardie ? Toe injuries are common and unless they become necrotic then they don't need any attention or intervention. They toes are so spindly + fragile that at times they get sprained or even broken but just heal on their own, sometimes looking crooked like that. I've had a few with crooked toes over the years, it did not bother them a bit. BTW, if she has a hammock that is a common cause of toe injuries, as the claws get caught in the mesh. Your girl could benefit from a pedicure too, but if that particular toe seems sensitive you could skip it. There are youtube videos to show how to trim their claws.

hi, thanks for your response. she’s had a bend in her foot since i got her but the only change is the way it’s more bumpy on the knuckle. she flicks her foot when i try to brush it against the scales. she’s currently going through a shed on all her feet i’m really hoping something gives here. to me it seems like there’s layers of shed built up, doesn’t really seem swollen but i’m not sure
