Rescued beardie...

[AK907]

If his wounds are healed no reason for a vet visit.
Not sure what else, but he definitely has leatherback. I like the red on him

Thanks. He/she is such a cool little bugger. Gunna offer him some vittles here in a few.

I would have a vet check him out. Missing toes can be common but swollen toes are not and it looks like the back left foot might be infected. The tail may fall off on its own, cleanly without infection, but it may not at that size. That's a really bad tail nip on top of what looks like a bad previous nip. Infection is a concern with all of those injuries and the dead tissue on the tail may have to be surgically removed.

Your bearded dragon is a pretty normal with lots of nice orange. If you are interested, here's more information about how genetics and morphs work in bearded dragons.

Thanks. I'll get an appointment set up asap just in case. Until then got him in a clean tub on paper towels. We'll try to make him as comfortable as possible. He definitely seems to be in good spirits and is very curious about us, much like our tortoises. The exact opposite of our balls.

I wish I could have gotten pictures of the conditions he was living in. Soaking wet, moldy tank with leftover sheds and fecal matter from whatever the last 10 animals that inhabited were. No heat or UVB to speak of. His tub may not be fancy, but he'll at least get the basic necessities he needs.

Cant Swollen toes be a sign of MBD?

Hmm, never thought of that. I'll definitely consider that and keep an eye on it. We rescued a veiled chameleon a few years back that had the beginning stages of it and with proper lighting she turned out just fine. I have a brand new 10.0 on him for now and after he settles in and it warms up a bit he'll likely get some natural sunlight as well (not through a window either, REAL sunlight). We have outdoor enclosures for our tortoises, so fabricating an outdoor enclosure for him will not be an issue so he can enjoy some natural sunlight on nice days. I assume that will be beneficial for him, am I correct?
