hello, i have a question about my two year old male RES. we recently noticed that around his middle nail where the nail meets the nail bed, there is a brown area. at first i thought it was a piece of food stuck around his claw but it wont come off. should i be worried about this? his behavior is completely normal otherwise, nothing out of the ordinary.

No, you shouldn't be worried about it. It is just there normal coloration. If you don't think that it is just his coloration, if you could post a pic of the dry nail, them others could tell you what it is. :D
