    I think you should open a window.

    When the haze has cleared look to see if maybe he's just going into shed.

    Are there any sores on his belly? Is he just pink? Is his cage clean? It his cage wet or dry?
    I may not be very smart, but what if I am?

    Sometimes they rub their "chins" on things forming raw areas. Got a picture?

    Without pictures it's hard to say. The only thing around the mouth that would cause those symptoms would be mouth rot, I believe.

    What are you housing him in? How are you measuring his temps and humidity?
