Hi there,

I see what you are referring to, under the teeth. It's hard to say for sure. You can always try a very soft bristled tooth brush to see if it is just food. It could also be plaque but in the picture it looks like it is on the gum under the teeth, not on the tooth itself.

Stained gums like that are not uncommon. Perhaps you can wipe the area with a q-tip. Sometimes chewing bugs with relatively hard shells can help with tooth and gum care too.

What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
Taking my beardie for a walk
