Bearded Dragon Egg

Hello we are new here and for the most part new to pets without fur. I had an iguana as a kid but didn't really have anything to do with it's care and it was a ***** so I think I held it maybe 5 times but all he did was whip his tail and open his mouth. Iv been caring for a leopard gecko for the past maybe 6 months as I kinda adopted him when my BF moved in with me. I had to learn a lot very quickly. I have always loved bearded dragons and always planned to own one someday.
Well about a week or 2 ago on a trip to the pet store to get worms for the gecko I stopped to admire the beardies. But this one little guy running back and forth across the front of the tank doing his little wave at me captured my attention. So on an impulse I decided he was coming home with me. On further inspection the pet store employee found he is missing the tip of his tail (almost unnoticeable) and the tip of one of his toes on his back foot was black and probably about to fall off. So my friend called him lieutenant Dan. I knew this is common in reptiles as a result of stuck sheds and doesn't really pose any threat to their health. Well they ended up adopting him out to me under the "no givsies backsies" polic
lmao. I picked up a 55 gallon aquarium off the curb a few months back so it was perfect. Due to his missing tail tip and toe I appropriately named him Nubby! I'm still working on setting up the 55 gallon so for a couple weeks he will be in a smaller enclosure but since he's only about a month old I have some time.
