Ambanja?

I think bright yellow is healthy

 

[JoXie411]

I think I read yellow, orange and some other color is normal for the inside of the mouth

Ambilobe

They gave vitamin A shot and said to continue with A retinal disted food. Hopefully he will eat. He had a few crickets yesterday with about a 3" tongue shot.

How old is he

If he was a dog or cat or most other mammal that would be a sign of liver disease. If you are seeing yellow in a panthers mouth he's just pissed.

That's Dexter he's doing fine many years later.

I freaked out same as you when I got my panther, I was used to the pink colour, like in a veiled. From everything I've learned it's normal. He looks like a pretty sweet cham!

I just ordered some repashy super pig for the preformed vitamin a in it

Mmm I see some tartar on the 3 molar bottom right needs some scale n polishing...

Appreciate the quick response. I am just sad he is having issue. I've posted a couple times about him, following all recommendations. I put so much time into feeding feeders, his setup, and feel like I failed him. Ugh! Praying the shot works and the new schedule of A on feeders is the solution.

Tongue function takes time to return even with the correct treatment.
