It looks a tiny bit swollen but not that bad, but I don't know what your referring to as the discoloration of the nails...as they look like normal nails to me.

Looks like the toe might be getting ready to shed. They tend to look a little swollen when they are about to shed. As far as the nail color goes, it's perfectly fine to have one nail that is different than the rest. I don't think it means anything. He could have been born like that, or the nail could have fallen off and grown back like that.

Ok I wasn't sure... not used to having a dragon since they were little... and hdrydr31 I took your advice on my other guy who isn't eating with probotic but he still don't want to eat other then hornworms and butter worms... so it's like he won't eat for days but he don't seem to be losing weight... he is still active but poop isn't normal still... before we go back to vet for xrays and blood work you have any other ideas? He gets offered food everyday... greens I end up picking up out of his bowl and worms all over...

well at least with the hornwoms he's hydrated and that may be what is with his poop is it all watery?? if so that's the hornworms as they are mostly water. Butterworms are treats as they are like beardie crack... and they will hold out for them if given the chance...
