It is normal for them to have saliva just not excess amounts --- RI can be caused by very low humidity in the tank --- incorrect UVB -- NO coils please
the humidity is around 10-25 during day and is around the same at night. i do have a tube uvb and im getting a replacement this month/early next month
ok the humidity is being taken w/ a dial hygrometer ? Please upgrade to a digital probe hygrometer Exo Terra Digital Hygrometer | Dubia.com
it is already being taken by one that is digital. is it fine if i just mist the tank when its low? i have a reptisun 10.0 T8, the distance between the bulb and decor is 9 inches. i have a wide hole screen and the uvb is placed inside
Ok so your lighting is good and temps --- rule that out for cause --- I dont think there is anything going on I think its normal for the saliva but post a pic of the inside of his mouth and I can have someone take a look for sure -- but I would get your humidity up in the tank if its down to 10 % -- misting may not be enough I had a humidifier going this past winter between my two dragons tanks -- it was falling to low for my liking --- mine got down below 20% w/ the humidifier it got up to 30% during the day and 35% at night --
Ok see if you can get a pic from the front w/ her mouth open tomorrow
i cant get her to open her mouth and i dont know how to forceit open either, but when open it from the side there is sometimes a string of saliva
Ok are you hearing any clicking popping or is she breathing hard?
not that i know of. i am getting a fecal done for her next week or so, so ill ask the vet about the licking lips when im there.
No enemas please-- Beware of vets giving enemas to your dragon | Beardie ER | Bearded Dragon .org
I thought it was caused by high humidity?
It would need to be over 70% but the too low can also cause it as well --
