Okay, I tried extensively looking up similar cases and even mouth rot. My ball is almost 2 years old. He has always been healthy and ate good, wonderful temperament, etc. I check him every so often just to make sure he's healthy and today I was checking his mouth. I saw a about 2 or 3 red specks along his nottom and upper gum lines. He acted normal and active, no mucus in nostrils/mouth/pits, no gasping, gums are pink despite the specks, breathing normal. I can post a picture later if needed, I'm at work right now. He eats pre-killed small rats, temperatures are 90 on one side, where he stays typically in his hide, and 75 to 80 on the other. Humidity is a little low sometimes, is the only problem I can think of. No exposure to other reptiles. I get him out often, because he enjoys it. He's very curious. Anyways, he's my baby and I'm so worried. Any help is appreciated. Sorry if this has been on here previoisly, but I searched and found nothing like mine. Thanks again!
