What to do?

[Alphahippo]

So I got this new little guy a few days ago and I noticed his foot is all weird, I googled it and it said it will heal it's self.... Just want a second opinion..... It's his back left foot

He's a nice looking little hatchling.... cuteness overdose.

I really can't see anything obvious with his left foot , looks like he has a bit of shed on his right foot (on a toe -- keep an eye on that).

Please take a new close up image of the foot you are worried about for us to be able to take a good look.

Do you mean the slight bulging look to the foot? To be honest I wouldn't worry unless the beardie is not walking on the foot or it worsens. A larger picture would be helpful.

I can't remember how to put pictures on here.... Help?

OK, yeah that's much clearer. I'm no expert but if its not troubling him I would expect it is a deformity from birth. Looks like the toes are stuck together rather than say, an old injury.

Ya his tail is a bit beat up to (at the tip).....he was with at least 10 others..... In a kinda small cage for that many.... I'm guessing he got bit or something

It definitely looks like his foot was chewed, but it doesn't look infected at least.
You can try putting some organic raw honey on his foot at night to help fight any potential infection. No loose substrate, please, and no insects left in the enclosure as they would be lured in by it.

As far as healing, what remains of his toes should heal up with no issue and cause little to no mobility issues. Any dead toes will fall off in time and the wound should be closed.

Richter, my now oldest, bit off one of his toes during shed. I applied raw honey nightly, rinsed it off in the mornings, rinse repeat for a few days until the dead tip of the toe fell off with a perfectly healed toe nub.
My new baby Alucard also appears as though she will lose the tip of her tail, but it looks to be healing well and I have not been applying any honey at this time.
