Possible mouth rot? 
I’m wondering if my iguana might have mouth rot. I was giving him his food and i noticed his mouth was looking a little weird and i opened his mouth and on his mouth had a little bit of brown stuff. I thought it was some food but it wasn’t and it looks a little swollen on the side that i saw it on and it seemed like his mouth was a little deformed but i think it’s because it’s swollen. I have a picture of it but i couldn’t get in his mouth to get a picture. but i forgot how to upload pictures

My iguana had something similar to that. I took him to the vet after his mouth got swollen and it turned out that he had a cyst in his mouth and he also had a second one on his cheek. The vet only removed the one inside his mouth for about $100. I felt cheated though because a few weeks later the one on his cheek just fell off (turns out iggs are naturally great healers). In my opinion, You should take him to the vet and find out exactly what it is though just to be on the safe side.
The weird looking part on his cheek is where the cyst fell off. Couldn’t get a pic of the inside of his mouth but he healed up really quick after the surgery.
Hope that helped.

I post pics by clicking "Photo Server" (In that list of links located at the top of the webpage) then click "Add a Photo"....and when you post something you can link those photos to your message.
