bearded dragon - hurt toe

Question
We have a 5 year old male Bearded dragon. He lives in a 55 gallon aquarium
with sand and basking logs and rocks/water reservoir and food bowl. He is
currently shedding-his whole body - I don't remember seeing even his toes
shedding - but never the less he has one toe on his front foot that is swollen
about 2 times its actual size. It looks sore - he is waving that foot it seems
more than usual. His appetite is really good. What can I do for him???

Answer
Hello Karen,

Hm, it sounds like he is retaining some shed on his toe or foot area.  You definitely need to take a look at that & get that all off before it begins to constrict the area.  He could lose that area if it doesn't come off.
You can soak him daily & use some aloe vera gel on the area which should help to moisten the area & it should hopefully get the retained shed off.  
What is his humidity in his tank?  It should run around 45% or so just to help with shed.  
Let me know how he is doing.
