If there is bleeding under the skin I would suspect a complete breakage of the bone. In that case there is a problem with the broken end damaging the surrounding tissue with movement of the foot. I would put him in a small dark container to minimize movement and further damage. This will also allow you to transport with less stress.

It sure does look like a break Savannah. I agree with Merlin, put him in something that will limit movement.

Poor fella. Agreed, keep him as quiet as possible to avoid more damage until he can be seen by your vet.

Reptiles are good at covering signs of pain.
Being wounded in the wild is an open invitation to attack by predators.
