Question about small toe on a cresties rear foot?

[Crestie_mommy]

I'm just wondering if the small/pinky toe on a crested geckos rear foot is smaller than the rest? So far everyone I have seen is like this, at first I thought it was due to incomplete shedding but now I'm not sure. Can anyone post a pic of their healthy cresties rear foot?

 

[Aimless]

it's completely normal

Ok so then the small/pinky toe on their rear foot is suppose to be smaller and without a claw?

 

[Aimless]

yes on the size, but the back foot does h ave a claw. all the toes are different sizes. there's a discrepancy with the front feet too, but it's more subtle.

 

[Crestie_mommy]

so all toes on the back are suppose to have a claw? can you post a pic of your cresties rear foot?

 

[Aimless]

yes, but it's very small.

if you do an image search for gecko feet you'll find numerous examples. the claw is small, but definitely there.

 

[Crestie_mommy]

ok, I'm probably just worrying over nothing then.

Is he walking, jumping okay? If he is, then it won't effect him adversely even if it looks odd to you. hope this helps ;-)
