Started seeing a little brown flake on the bottom right of my male Jackson's mouth, when he eats it is slightly red, if I touch near he doesn't seem to care but he kind of twitches when he open too much. Haven't taken him to the vet but the forum here is fabulous. I appreciate ANYTHING you guys can give me. I will Upload pictures very soon.

Try fixing the picture, then we can determine if it is mouth rot.
I hope not!

First thing you want to do is prevent it from getting further infected.
Take a Q-Tip, wipe with peroxide then apply a topical antibiotic like Bacitracin, etc, from your medicine cabinet.
Do this twice a day. I had a Jackson's once that had what looked like a big, nasty cold sore in the corner of his mouth, and it healed up in about a week using this. Jackson's are prone to mouth sores. It's suspected it might be related to a Vitamin C or some other deficiency.
Give it a try.
Btw, i got this from one of Philippe de Vosjoli's many excellent books on Chameleon care.

Thank you thank you thank you! Applied the first coat and will do again a few hours before bed or could I apply before he sleeps? I will definitely have to look up the author.First thing you want to do is prevent it from getting further infected.
