 Odd mouth / problem?

My favorite Grass Lizard, Pablo, seems to have an issue with his mouth - the top and bottom parts of his jaw are no longer in alignment and seem to be almost swollen or something. Is this a problem? Is there anything I can do? I want to know if he’s sick - or if he’s in pain, to take him to a vet or if I’m just being overly worried. Thanks!

well that soundes like either mouth rot or MBD. a picture would help, check insider it’s mouth for a cheasy stuff, if there is it’s mouth rot. but the swelling seems to indicate MDB. do you have a UVB light?? do you supliment it’s food? if it is MBD then all the other lizards with also have it.
in either case take them to a vet now! and while your there get them checked for interal parasites, most wild caught lizards are full of them and with out treatment this can esculate expecially when the lizard doesn’t have a clean bill of health. this will lead to deat if untreated, bottom line, take him to a vet !
