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.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
