Yellow spots around the mouth

Postby elizabethskink9 » Thu Oct 01, 2020 6:57 am

I got alice out and noticed 2 yellow marks around her mouth. I noticed when there was one, but now that there are 2 i’m more concerned. i’m not sure how well you can see them in the picture but I included one.

I think I see what you mean. Not the greatest picture. Can you get any better pictures?

Might sound like a stupid question but can the spots be washed off? If not, I'm going to say that any discoloration near the mouth should be checked by a vet.

I see the spots you are mentioning. The scales look smooth, but discolored yellow correct? I would have it checked. Could be nothing or could be something. Better be safe than sorry.
