I have a beardie that was a rescue. He apparently was purchased by someone and then got ick in the mouth, was taken back to pet store and was treated by a vet and then we adopted him. He has continue to have somewhat of a crusty chin and edge of his mouth. The inside of his mouth looks fine. He has a great appetite, has his basking light and uvb, calcium supplements in food, daily sunlight, etc. he is one of four beardies we have had for years. Our personal beardies have never been ill so trying to figure out if this is common leftovers or should I be concerned and take a trip to the vet.

Probably infectious stomatitis. Swab the area with a little betadine a few times a day. If it doesn't clear it up or worsens a vet visit is in order.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
