My morrocan euromastyc has some sort of fungi looking skin on sides of his mouth. Any ideas as to what it is?

take it to a vet
Reply:Probably stomatitis or mouthrot. The mouth must be treated and the animal started on a regimen of appropriate systemic antibiotics. The animal's environment should be modified as necessary to aid in recovery. This happens frequently when the immune system is depressed b/c of something being off in the environment (nutrition, temperature, etc).





See links for more details.
Reply:If it's whitish colored, it could be either unshed skin or salt buildup. Take him to a herp vet to be sure.
Reply:this may be a salt coming from the sinus
