Elroy's hand got crushed

[CodyBaz]

My lil guys hand got stuck between the screen and top of tank..hes a little bruised and his fingers look a lil crushed...hes only 10 weeks and i dont want any permanent damage to his hand or nails? Any suggestions? Just let him heal up or is there anything i can do?

A picture might be helpful.

Have you fixed it so he can't do that again?

 

[CodyBaz]

It was my fault i opened the top to throw in some grasshoppers and i closed it not realizing his his hand was there he was trying to wiggle it out and bruised the side of his arm a bit. Ill snap a pic for you.

His finger tips are whitish and his skin coming off a little on fingers

At first glance it doesn't look bad. I think I'd just keep an eye on it. If it starts to swell or the color doesn't get better in a week you might want to take him to a vet.

Poor little sweetie, most of us have had that happen. Just put neosporin on it and keep am I on him.

Wat kind of tank is he in? All glass with a screen sliding top?

 

[CodyBaz]

Ya i have him in this 10 gallon just for a couple of weeks till he gets big enough for my other terrarium i built until eventually he can roam in the one on my display picture. I know glass is not good for ventilation but this what my other cham started in and shes as healthy as they come. I go above and beyond for husbandry if you are wondering reptilover. Thanks a lot guys for all the support.

He'll be in this one in a week or 2

This sounds wonderful. I would lose the fountain and the substrate, but I am a nut about chams being healthy.
