BLUE TONGUE SKINKS

Hey guys, I noticed this weird scale on Steggles foot, Not too sure if its normal or not but thought id see what you guys thought. Its on his right hind foot.

Is it a hard mass or is it fleshy?

Its difficult to tell really with it being so small, but it seems harder than the rest of the foot.

Did it grow there or was it there since you had it?

Are we missing a toe?

I would probably have it checked out by a vet. It looks like it is separating the toes more than normal (of course that could just be the picture). It is nothing I have ever seen before. Being that small, Id doubt it would be much for a vet to remove it. If they do, maybe send it in to have a lab determine if it is cancerous or not. If you dont want to do that, most vets hang onto these types of things incase others show up and need to be cultured. They dont have to remove the new ones just yet, they can send in the old and see what it is.

Nah the other toe is hidden behind the top right, You can see the nail down the bottom of its foot. But thats a good observation, Now that i look at it, It is pushing the toes apart, Will be taking it to the vet pretty soon. I'm a lil worried about it but hopefully all goes well.[/quote]

Let us know how it goes!
