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.

Mirage is shedding....he seems to be feeling itchy lol. Giving him a bath later today. Can Aloe be used on bearded dragons?
Gus - he’s a rescue!
How much water should I be giving my bearded dragon? He will only drink from a dropper when I drop on his nose and I’m not sure if I should give it to him until he won’t drink anymore? Or should I stop after he’s had a certain amount?
Just want to check that if my beardie is ok I managed to get a video of him yawning today and screenshot him with his mouth open does he have mouth rot??? He is eating and drinking normally btw, the discoloration on his left of the mouth has been there for a month but the discoloration on his right side is new
