I am Maurice and i'm new to this forum.
I signed up because i hope you guys and girls could help me with my 5 year old male bearded dragon.
First off i want to note that he doesnt seem uncomfortable with it. it doesnt seem to hurt and he doesnt mind me touching it. but i still want to figure out if its something serious. i've always kind of ignored it because it doesnt seem to bother him (very stupid i know). as he eats fine (well now that he's brumating not so fine anymore but thats normal) and hes still active. he has had it for a long time, longer than a year at this point.
now to the problem, i have a few pictures that show it pretty well. on the left side his gums are a little yellowish and swollen. his teeth look pretty fine to me but the gums dont. his right side however is worse. its dark and it looks bad. thats why i thought it was mouth rot but i need someone elses opinion on it. i have tried to ''clean'' it off with a wet qtip but its really his gums and not something on it that can be cleaned up. and since i cant find any cases that are really similar to mine i decided to ask it here,
here are the photos i took. luckily hes the sweetest ever so he doesnt mind me opening his mouth and having a peek.
