Good pix. they now work. i am a little stumped. i got an idea but don't want to say for sure. maybe laurie or ferretinmyshoes will chime in later today. if no one does, pm me this evening and i will say what i am thinking. keep in mind i am no expert, just an opinion. they are far more knowledgeable and i don't want to cause a false alarm. however, in hindsight i guess i have. keep patient and relaxed. i am hopeful they will chime in and put your worries to rest.

It looks like it could be mouth rot, or the beginning of it, however, it could also be dried bug guts.

Take a damp a tip and try gently wiping it off, and see what happens.

If he gapes at you, see if it's in the mouth, or around the gum line.

Can you get a pic with his mouth open? It looks like it could be mouthrot, which he would need to go to the vet for.
