Mouth Disease?! Dirt?! Advise?

Full Disclosure: I'm one of "those people" that freak out about every little thing right now with my first hatchling. I've never seen black in my BP's mouths before. I hope the image shows.



This was taken minutes after a feed (All white mouse so it isn't fur). Could my little nerd have gotten the coconut substrate stuck in his teeth? I don't think this is the mouth rot I've been hearing about...

It's a little difficult to tell in the picture but it honestly looks like substrate to me.

I have a feeling that's what it is. I'm just an over protective momma! All y'all here are so nice. I sometimes freak myself out reading too much about the bad stuff. Thanks for your opinion!

That's what it looks like from here too...he just needs a Water-Pik... (Joking!!! Don't do that! But if you encourage him to drink see if it disappears after?)

Looks like substrate to me too, but I'm looking on mobile so tough to tell.

Swab it and you will know.
