Diet dubia nymphs, he rarely eats the veggies I offer to him such as mustart greens and finely chop cabbage.

His previous feeders before I got him is lats and crickets

His appetite is still good and he's very active

Please go over your UVB coil or a long tube fixture ? Surface basking temps and how your taking them? Digital probe thermometers are the best and most accurate -- I am gonna get some help on the mouth

Basking temp usually goes around 34°C to 37°C and 38 to 40% humidy

Also Im using a 10.0 UBV reptisun

Ok I heard back from the person I reached out to and this is what he said

That's probably worth keeping an eye on, but doesn't look too bad yet. Options are limited without access to a vet to do some testing. I'd probably wait until the face shed is complete. If the mouth looks the same or worse after the shed, try cleaning it with some chlorhexidine or maxi-guard gel - depending on what is available. Hopefully keeping the area clean will help.

Ok it looks better but please get rid of the coil UVB ----- they are inadequate and will cause all kinds of health issues --- what size tank? I can link some good fixtures and bulbs for you but please get rid of the coil ---

Oh that's great. I just saw your post the now and thought it looks like some dirt. My boy has some mess on the mouth after eating locusts today (I think locust blood), I wiped it straight after, it happens. The pic looked like this. I'm glad that's what it turned out to be.

Ok for now get the UVB ---- he needs this as soon as possible
www.petmountain.com 24" Zoo Med fixture use the 5.0 bulb that comes w / it --- it needs to be unobstructed 6-8 inches directly over the basking decor piece ---- when you upgrade to a bigger tank 120 gallon recommended get the Reptisun 10.0 T 5 ----- please post when you get it so I can help you get that bulb placed for the bigger tank - its going to depend on the screen your using
