I've got a male U. pietschmanni that is WC. He seems to have swollen toes, and it doesn't like to have the swollen toes touched, any Ideas?

They were swollen when I got him, it's only 2 toes. Nothing visible like cut, but maybe like blisters?

Looks like it may be abcessed/infected. You'll likely need to have them lanced by your vet, and on antibiotics. This is not uncommon in WC animals.
