I have an old MTS female. For years, one of her toes has been "girdled" due to skin not shedding properly. I've kept Triple Antibiotic on it and it's done fine until recently. Now, it's swollen, has obviously gone bad, and needs to be removed. I can't find a reptile vet in the Charlotte, NC area. Does anyone know a good way I can remove her dying toe? Think I can tie a thread around the toe until it falls off, or can I cut it off with a sharp pair of scissors after swabbing the whole foot and the scissors with alcohol?

Thanks for any input.

KST
