Hi. I'm a new beardie owner. When I bought her, I noticed that her right leg is really weird. Somehow she doesn't have 2 nails and one finger is split in half. She is not acting lethargic and she seems to be healthy. Should I do something about it?

Looks like it’s been dyed by the substrate, by any chance do you use coloured sand? If so, please remove it asap or mix it with a type of soil substrate. Plain, fine sand can easily be ingested accidentally and can get between their scales like that. It should come off in a warm bath.

Or you can replace w/ some textured NO grooves NON adhesive shelf liner cut to the size of the tank - sand harbors bacteria - clean w/ vinegar/ water 50/50 solution - how long has the foot been like this - it could be from the dye of the sand but please watch it - I am guessing this a injury from a hammock -- betadine is good make it so its a weak tea color - I think its one part betadine to 10 parts water mix
