purple/gray discoloration around mouth and nostrils

[caitlin47]

I have a 6 year old male bearded dragon named Richie. He has always been very healthy, but over the past 2 days I've noticed an odd purple/gray discoloration around his mouth and nostrils. I am also concerned because I believe that his gums might be a little red and swollen. However Richie is still very active, eating regularly, and does not seem bothered by this at all. He recently shed approximately 2 months ago so I'm not sure what could be causing this or if it's anything serious. Has anyone ever experienced a similar situation? And if so, what caused it and how was it resolved? I would appreciate any advice.
Thanks,
Caitlin

Hello Caitlin and Welcome,

I am not sure what is going on with your beardie's mouth. Could it possibly be shed around the mouth and nostrils?

If you could post a picture of your beardie's mouth and nostrils...it will help tremendously to be able to see it!
