Leona missing part of finger.

So I noticed Leona has a finger that obviously is shorter than all the others.
I am guessing that she was shedding and that it was hard to remove the shed and she bit off a part of her finger. Will this grow back?

Diamond has never had a shedding problem ever. I keep humidity levels right at almost all times. Plus I spray her with her spray just to keep her skin extra nice. I am guessing that once Leona is in her new habitat and owned by me, she wont have any sort of shedding problem in the future.

I have a Question for you, Is the Claw ( Nail ) Still there? Otherwise If it is its just like her having a Smaller finger. For example some people call the smallest finger on our hands the Pinkie or Thumb. Unless shes missing her nail no it wont regrow ( Atleast i doubt it ).

I didn't carefully check my leo when purchasing it, so I had no idea that mine were missing toes. They don't regrow, and stubby fingers just stay small.

It wont grow back. Its was probably from shedding, but she didn't bite it off. After several sheds of the old skin staying on the toes, the circulation gets cut off. The toe dies, and eventually falls off.

This is kinda like the 'extra scute' my tortoise has. It just makes them more unique and easier to identify :) It's an endearing feature if you know what I mean

Yes! She definately must of had a shedding issue and the back toe is definately gone. Poor baby!:oops:
She gets around great though, so I am happy she is fine.

I remember how I had to take up the reptile carpet I bought for Diamond a while back. I threw it all away and saved the rest in the box to give away. The reptile carpet agitated her sensitive albino skin on her hands and her hands and feet were reddish. When I changed the flooring to paper towels her hands and toes were back to normal in a few days.
