Hello everyone, Im freaking out cause my beardie might have mouth rot I couldn't visit a vet cause we dont have exotic vet here in our are and other neighboor cities. Also if this is a mild mouth rot can I possible treat it?
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 mouthDiet 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
Basking temp usually goes around 34°C to 37°C and 38 to 40% humidyPlease 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

Also Im using a 10.0 UBV reptisun
Its a coil typeIs that a coil or long tube
Ill keep an eye on him, but he still havent loss his appetite thats one of the good sign i guessOk 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 ---Good news, its just stuck dirt after minutes of rubbing gently with a wet qtips it came off
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.Good news, its just stuck dirt after minutes of rubbing gently with a wet qtips it came off
Ok for now get the UVB ---- he needs this as soon as possibleHe has 20g tank for now but ill definitely upgrade after i have extra bit of cash, also ill save up to give him a long fixture UVB
