What is it?

[Nicholasdeaan]

I don't believe it's mouth rot. It's been there for a couple day. It's looks like where she's been rubbing a lot almost? I'm not sure what it is. Any ever see something like this? It's on the very tip of her mouth.

Is it dried cricket guts?

Is it dried cricket guts?

lol no. She gets misted and is a heavy drinker. It wouldn't stay that long.

 

[Nicholasdeaan]

Is it dried cricket guts?

I wouldn't think anyhow!

 

[urawrath]

do you think you can get a picture with her mouth open to fully see it?

Not likely unless I force her mouth open. She's sleeping right now. I have been force feeding her up until a few days ago when she started eating on her own again. And I never seen any discoloration in her mouth.

Hey Nicholasdeaan,
You could put a little neosporin on the area use non pain relieve type only, it will kill bacteria and keep the tip from drying out. Use a Qtip to apply, it should be real easy if she's sleeping. Good luck

I'm actually going to do that, I didn't know you could use neosporin on chams. Thanks for the advice! I'll try that out.

 

[Nicholasdeaan]

Do tyou have dirt or substrate in her enclosure?

No. Only Soil in her plants. It's not dirt or anything like that. I'm positive. It's either dead tissue of some sort or a sore. Just not sure why it came about.

 

[garyl]

Well regarding your question, If it's not a bit of bug carcass, I would take it to the vets as it could be an infection.

 

[Nicholasdeaan]

She's been on antibiotics for the past week and a half I have no reason to believe it is an infection. I gave her a shower and dead skin came off of it. I examined the inside of her mouth and throat and she had no visible signs of infection. I'm coming to the conclusion it's just a rub mark.
