The process started on his head and back, he shed his eyes , head , back and belly since starting. He’s still working on his tail & his lips have been pretty consistently cracked looking - which I assumed was shed.
last week I finally had my radiator fixed and so my house is way warmer now, so I was able to remove some of the excessive insulation I had to use on his tank. This was great ! But then the humidity in my place dropped, I mostly only noticed because it is effecting my pacman frog. Humidity on Nuggets basking side is around 26% . Cool side stays between 30-35. Temps 98 on basking.
last week I noticed nuggets lips to seem extra crusty. Yesterday it seemed pretty inflamed on one side. Inside of his mouth seems unremarkable from what I can tell. He’s continuing to lighten up on his beard and face so he’s still shedding that portion of his body.
his appetite seems to be down, he still picks at his salad but doesn’t eat nearly as much as he used to. His appetite for bugs is unchanged.
does this look like mouth rot ? Or a case of dehydration mid shed .... or both ?
luckily all this happened just in time for the local exotic vet to be in town so I have an apt Tomorrow. I’m just looking for some extra tips / info to bring into the vet as I’ve heard mixed reviews on his beardy knowledge.
