5 year old male 75 Gal enclosure reptile carpet substrate T5 HO 10.0 UVB bulb changed less than 6 months ago. Eating fine, pooping okay, nothing huge but usually only poops smalls. Noticed today he's been dragging his back legs when crawling. Also looking a little thin, didn't think much of...

Was told female when we bought her. Not so sure now. What do you guys think? (The dragon, not my little girl :) )

Can anyone help? I thought female but no 100% sure. Thanks.

He's only 4!

Update. Carl has slowed down a bit...maybe getting ready to brumate? He did eat one super worm the other day. The plaque build up is still there, unable to get much more off without being too abrasive. As it is, I've noticed his gums get a little red and inflamed after I treat them...

Tracie, Thanks for checking in. Definitely just a hard plaque, was able to scrape some off. Will continue to keep it clean and work on the buildup. Still not eating, but he's also in shed and has some new roommates . New young beardies in separate cages. Suggestions on encouraging eating...

Yes same on both sides. Swabbed it a bit but doesn't look like it'll easy come off...so hard?

Was doing some research..does this appear to be characteristic of periodontal disease? I really hope not...for his sake as well as my pocket book. Diet consists mostly of greens, super worms and horn worms. Kind of a picky eater in general. More pics

Hasn't been eating well for the past few weeks. Maybe a super worm every other day or so. Been very active: head bobbing, lots of glass dancing. So I'm not sure if his mouth is just banged up from all the activity. Mouth rot, plaque build up? What do you all think and in home treatments?
