Im not sure, I might be over worrying. But it looks like one of my turtles has a weird ingrown nail on one of his back foot. It looks like theres a small little lump where a nail should be. Should I be worried? I'm not really sure if I should take him to a vet or if I can do something about it. I've had him for a little over a year (i got him when he was a baby) and his brother (who i got at the same time) is just fine... a little smaller but everything else looks good with him. Any replies would be greatly appreciated!!

It could just be that the nail got broken off at some point, I would just keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't get infected and also make sure its water is cleaned often too.
