I have a 4 month old Sulcata Hatchling who I just noticed is missing a couple of claws on a front foot and rear foot. I have a year old Sulcata who lives with him and doesn't have this problem. My 4 month old does tend to fall asleep a good bit through the day but eats regularly and drinks regularly. They spend half their time in an outside enclosure, half in shade and half in sun, the enclosures are misted at least once a day and they are soaked on average every other day for 15-20 minutes. I give them calcium twice a week and they are fed every other day with a varied diet. Their lighting in there inside enclosure includes a zoo med powersun spot lamp that keeps the basking spot at about 95 degrees. They also have a zoo med reptisun 10.0 approximately 15 inches from the surface of the substrate.

Is it normal for them to drop nails? Do they grow back?
