BLUE TONGUE SKINKS

I'm probably worrying about nothing. But I don't want to overlook something that may be starting with Sammy's mouth.

This may just be the way she's made but I noticed a few weeks ago her top and bottom jaws didn't meet all the way on the sides all the way back. Here's a pic to show you what I mean.



It doesn't look infected or anything but I'm so afraid of mouth rot... She hasn't been interested in eating every day lately which I attributed to her getting older. But could it be her mouth??

Looks like the same thing with one of my BTS. Its like the scale doesnt make it all the way up to his lip. I dont think its anything wrong. I think its maybe the scale just hasnt grown in yet lol.

that looks just like Diggers mouth, well not just like but close, I would be interested to know as well, his isn't red and doesn't appear to be sore so I wasn't worried.

LittleFoot does that alot, especially after yawning, his jaws wont line up just right or he'll keep his mouth a little open for a while then goes back to normal. He'll also do this after a particually big meal (like a fuzzie mouse)

thats like lillys mouth hers was from her accident. she bit alot that night she was extremely stressed out and bit the broom handle over and over her mouth swelled up and she kept it open alot its just now getting better but its not lining up anymore.

Looks fine but good onya watching out for things ...buitifull skink , i can see why you love her face ...Thanks anyway for the pic


really a buity . I see many that dont go close to a tight join , some have red flesh showing i worry bout fly strike ..1 were letting go called Jaws has red at the top of his mouth..Ticks will go mad there .But thats nature . Put purple ink on him when he goes .. And purple paint on his mouth .
cheers

Reminds of Phoebe! It's nothing to worry about.

It's good to know it's nothing to worry about. I'm so glad to have you guys. Where else would I get "Oh, my bluey has that too! Not a problem" ! I could just see me trying to figure all this out on my own. I'd be at the vets constantly for every little thing... lol

Thanks again!

Hey Zach,

Think Wendy's would reconstitute their Burger Ads "Where's the Beef?" with Phoebe as their poster child?

BTW, I LOVE that picture of Phoebe!
