Roof of mouth coloration

Hello everyone!

I posted the other week about a sore on the bottom of my beardie's mouth. While the sore at the bottom of his mouth has started to fade (although it is still there) I noticed a redness on the roof of his mouth. Is this normal? I sent pictures over to my vet but have yet to hear back from them.

Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Yeah I think that part is normal. It seems like I remember my guys being the same.

Hello,

The yellow color in his mouth is a recessive genetic trait from the P Barbata for self defense in the wild.
They do tend to have reddish colors on the roof of their mouths too. Overall the mouth appears healthy.

Hello,

Yes, they sure do! Well, in the wild, the bright yellow
would help to ward off a predator perhaps!

a poem by AHBD (THANK YOU SO MUCH! I LOVE IT!)

Sir Henry the dragon
Looking for his dragon girl
Ventures out in to the wide world
His hopes are up but as you can see
There is no dragon girl for Sir Henry
A light bulb goes off and he takes mom aside
Could you perchance get me a mail order bride ?

Hi there a little update we went from a 50 watt heat lamp to a 100 watt basking halogen heat lamp hahaha I saw some comments about it being so close so I made sure to put it a ruler away from her
Has anyone seen this before? Something in the corner of his mouth
