Broken Toes??

ladystefanie Jul 30, 2003 11:06 AM

This sounds horrid - but how can you tell if a tegu has a broken toe? Kitty's long toes on his back feet seem kinda flimsy. Is this normal or am I off to the vet??

Thanks everyone!

Thanks Nicole - I messed with them last night and they didn't seem to bother him at all, but I definitely feel better about it now.

Bendy toes is definatly normal, its almost like, for exsample, treads on a Tank, they flex to fit the terrain and get better grip.
