1st luc is of him sleeping a couole days ago mouth perfectly closed.
Today near bed time I noticed this (2nd picture) he is sleeping with his mouth ever so slightly open(well i sorta woke him up while taking the pic, but his mouth was like this when he was fully asleep and right before bed time.
Other pics are from enclosure and rico on normal day.
*he started shedding today could this be the cause? Hes never ever done this before. Also I saw him fling his tong at a cricket that was on a rock, could he have injured his tongue on the rocks? Its a smooth river rock, he didnt swallow it or anything and the rock didnt stick to his tongue.
Thanks in advance
