My Skinks toe might be broken?

Postby NineDivine » Wed Jul 08, 2020 2:02 pm

Hello everyone, my skink appears to have a toe that sticks out of place and I noticed it a few day's ago. I'm not sure how this may have happened nor what exactly it means, is this broken? And if so is there anything I can/should do?

Definitely looks like something happened to it. I doubt there isn't much a vet could do for it. If it doesn't seem painful I would just monitor it for now. If it gets worse a vet visit.

Okay, it doesn't seem to be causing any pain right now, but is it even possible for it to fix itself? Meaning, will I end up needing to take him to the vet regardless?

If it is broke there probably isn't much they could do unless they amputate the toe. The toe is to small to splint or repair. I would just leave it and see how your skink does with it and then go from there.
