Strange toenail?

[lisa127]

I have an approximate 3 year old three toed box turtle. On one of his back feet, he has grown a miniature toenail off of one of his main toenails. This miniature toenail is also bone white in color. Has anyone ever seen this and know why this would happen?

A picture might help

Yeah, it would...lol. The lights are out for the night. I'll get one tomorrow.

Hopefully this is clear enough.

An uncommon genetic defect, nothing to be concerned about.
