Foot pad

I noticed the bottom of Chewy's paws are soft in comparison to his toes and top of his foot. They are also slight colored differently. Is this normal? He doesn't seem to be bothered by me touching them and he has been digging and moving around plenty without any sign of discomfort.

:D its completely normal and a very endearing trait of their already endearing feet.
most skinks do not like their feet touched though.

Yay! I figured it was fine, but I wanted to be cautious. I have seen yellow fungal infection in beardies in the past and that starts as something small and can quickly become a problem.
