veiled's claw missing?

[Raoul Duke]

is this normal?
his front right hand is missing a nail..
will it grow back, or is it donezo?

Observe the animal climbing to determin how it was lost. Is it healed, or fresh wound?
Or is the nail just blunt? broken off but root intact? If the nail is torn out, it wont likely grow back
but it should heal ok.

Mine has lost some nails on his front foot. It doesn't really affect them, mine is still able to climb well, just watch out for any swelling in the toes.

Mista has a few toenails missing from climbing the roof of his old flexi,He has no problems climbing except he can no longer climb the roof which i don't think is a bad thing lol.As Slofe says, watch for swelling on the toe. Mista has just finished a run of antibiotic treatment for this reason.
