Yeah it's definitely not swollen like that. Maybe he has always had mucus I just never noticed. It was mainly the spots on his lips that was bothering me. But now that I know that has nothing to do with mouth rot I feel confident that he is okay.
I have always kept his cage clean. And he doesn't poop very often lol. He is also in a bioactive terrarium that my husband an I built. He is so much happier in there than his old tank. He used to sleep allllll the time and I would have to keep pulling him out and putting him in his basking place. But now he is always basking, always sexy legs and when he feels like it he uses all 6 ft of the terrarium to get his exercise until mommy let's him run around the living room lol.
