Thick saliva

Leo’s got a bit of thick saliva and has for the past few days, I’ve misted his salad twice a day and his temps aren’t too high…

I know that’s also a symptom of a RI but he hasn’t had any other signs and there isn’t much that could have caused it…

Here is a picture, it’s bubbly and thick. He licked a piece of veg and I felt it, it was a bit sticky. What on earth is this and should I be concerned?

It is, but kind of in the same way that a fever is a symptom of a rabies infection, if that makes sense :)

Dragon saliva isn't going to be thin and liquidy like ours is. It's normal for their saliva to be a bit more viscous. And like you mentioned, without other symptoms, you have nothing to worry about.

Swordtail has been doing a whole lot of "Lizard yoga" lately
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.
