I don't know what's going on with his upper and lower lips... Other than the inflammation and irritation he's doing just fine. A few respiratory issues as well.. Does anyone know what's happening here?

I do believe there is a bd illness called Mouth Rot but I truly know nothing about it. May be worth googling the symptoms and a vet check?

What are you using for UVB and what are you dusting his food with calcium and multivitamins? He has a bit of an overbite going on there which could be the reason you are seeing the inside lining of his upper lips, that's caused by MBD. There also looks like some sort of abscess which could be mouth rot. I would take him to the vet for a full check up. MBD can be treated, the damage can't be reversed but if you catch it you can stop it from getting worse.

Vet. Mouth rot is nothing to just monitor it needs treatment. I lost one to an infection around his mouth.

I'll be taking him into the vet come this Saturday. The good thing is, is he's still eating. I have him some dusted crickets just today in fact.

That's good your going to the vet. My guy ended up staying at the vet at the end. At one point he was getting better and then it came back stronger. It was heartbreaking and it was a long fight. The ppl on here helped me through it. My guy was a baby . Yours is bigger they usually do respond well. Best of luck to your guy.
