missing toes?

sera May 19, 2003 11:47 AM

My mother suprised me with two new red ackie babies for my birthday to add to the one I already have. During my inspection of them I noticed that they were missing some toes. I need to know how this will affect them and what I can do to help. Thank you very much.

Missing toes are nothing to worry about, one breeding female had
half a missing front foot, and does not seem to hinder at all.
I guess they lost their toes through poor humidity in the substrate.
Enjoy your monitors, dont worry about the mising digits.

Thank you, they seem to get around alright and there is no apparant infection, so I suppose your right, they'll be ok. thanks again
