This is a closer picture of my cousins bearded dragon who I was worried may have beginning stages of MBD. Should I have them take him to a vet?

I dont think that is MBD I am not sure what causes the toes to curl like that--- I will ask --- what UVB are the people using --- its good to stay ahead of it before more issues start coming up -- please NO Coils -----

He needs his nails trimmed, but i dont think its mbd, beardies curl their toes upward when in their basking spot, my girl does it often.

This is a response from a experienced owner/ breeder that I asked regarding the curled toes

Sometimes they do this others times they don't. They may do it if the ground is hot [ if they're on a rock like surface or fake cave that holds heat ] or possibly even to keep their claws from getting snagged in carpet. Other kinds of lizards do this as well.
