Does this appear to be scale or mouth rot? I have an appointment scheduled and waiting on an email from his doctor in the interim.

Please offer advice about my beardies mouth. I have a vet appointment scheduled and waiting on an email from his doctor with advice until the appointment, but can’t hurt to ask here too.

My babe’s mouth just started looking like this. There’s bits of white, but I think that’s just from the calcium (he inhaled 10 large dubias right before this photo), but there are little black spots popping up around his mouth. They don’t wipe off, so it’s not old food. Any thoughts? Like I said, we’re seeing the herp vet next week and the doctor said he’d look at the pics and get back to me with things to help in the interim. I haven’t heard from him yet, so why not ask you guys.

The inside of his mouth and gums appear healthy, so I’m not sure about mouth rot. But what do you think? His environment is clean and dry, he’s got great Uvb and good temps. To be super safe, I spent the morning deep cleaning and sanitizing every single thing in his enclosure.

Thank you!

I don't see anything alarming, I'll flag @AHBD, she is good at this sort of thing

I should add that a few scales with slightly black discoloration is very common, some of mine have had those and it's comparable to a skin blemish on us, a scratch, etc.

Currently trying not to stress over my anemic dragon....she is being treated, but I don't agree with her treatment plan and have been seeking out a second opinion from another vet. If anyone else has dealt with anemia, please let me know how it was resolved. I am losing sleep over this :cry:
Another post lol. My beardie does not like enclosures. Her tank is the kids room and she has created a nesting/bed spot in the corner. She will cuddle with my son but she know when the lights are out and the kids go to sleep, she literally goes to her bed like she is our 3rd baby. I love her. And to think, I never wanted a beardie lol
Please help. My beardie is my baby and I am worried she may be egg bound but I can't tell. She is over 2 yrs old and has never laid an egg. She has been swollen for two days and can't tell if she may be impacted or egg bound. Please help.
I'm still looking to adopt. I live near Homerville Georgia.
