Hii! Today I saw Plinko yawn. I noticed there was a white glop in the back of her mouth (ewww.) She also kept her mouth open for like 10 seconds, then closed it. I tried my best to get her to open her mouth again for a picture, but I ended up just getting chomped. She ate for me and she seems healthy.. nostrils are clear, no labored breathing.. Just wondering if you've ever seen some white goop in your skink's mouth before??
and for your amusement, a beautiful picture of her I took while she was eating.
White stuff in mouth?

If it was while she was eating, could it have been a calcium-covered piece of food?
Adorable pic, btw

Hmm... I would wait for some other to respond, but I would recommend waiting a few days. Use leather gloves to try and see inside her mouth.

Re: White stuff in mouth?
My skink often yawns REALLY REALLY big when he drinks. Why not take water out of the tank, wait a day, then offer water outside the tank (taking water out means you know the skink hasn't drunk) with a camera ready. When/if the yawn happens and you see the white you can *click* the camera while the mouth is open and get a shot.
