Beardie finger is broken?

[zorothebeardie]

My friend beardie' finger is kinda off but we don't know that it was broken or not because he (beardie) doesn't react or look flinch when we touch it and can walk normally. We haven't bring him to vet because the vet is really far.

I will have some one look at it -- to me it doesnt look broken but I am no expert -- are you using any hammocks in the tank? any kind of green reptile carpet? it looks like he got it snagged on something and the two things I asked about are the most common - I will get back w/ you after I hear back from the person I am reaching out to

yes theres a possibility that he got snagged on that towel, because he is really active and just roaming around all day so i cant be sure too.

For now hold off -- we see sprains and broken nails etc quite a bit - they usually heal on their own -- what kind of UVB are you using? coil or a long tube fixture?
I heard back and this is what she has said
That shouldn't be a problem at all, not much a vet could do anyway. It's not uncommon at all for them to dislocate or break a finger and they usually heal on their own but this one doesn't look like it's broken anyway so it should be fine..
