sour on lip

[NWD]

Acting totally fine besides this sore can someone help me identify the problem. Havn't noticed any she caught but I think may be a shedding issue because I just saw one of my lp geckos had some shed caught and I removed it and she also had sores on her lip

grammar? cant really tell whats going on here, but that lip doesnt look too good. should get him to the vet.

Are you talking about the bottom lip or the top lip or both?

There is a condition called "mouth rot". I have no idea if those things on the lips are a symptom. I suspect a trip to the vet is in order.

Just as a general comment, you shouldn't remove shed unless it seems to be causing a constriction around a limb (or tail). You can offer fingers to rub on, but don't actively pull. You can do damage that way.

thanks

bottom lip and with the gecko I had to get it off with some warm water her face was covered for days she was unable to eat...I wish I had noticed sooner but I wasnt paying close attention because I had surgery that week but yes I am aware that generally you do not remove shed.
