Hi everyone. I'm a new owner of 5 Leopard Gecko's. I need your help. My 2 girls live in the same tank together. I noticed that she has something growning off her mouth. I pulled it off and it was hard and crusty like a scab. The next week i noticed it on my other girl. I dont know what it is, nor how to treat it. They both eat just fine and i havent noticed any funny behavior form either one. Any ideas? Also if you know a good Dr. that i might be able to take them too in my area. Please anything you can do to help. I am still learing and would love any advise or words of wisdom.

Thanks,
Natasha

It might be shed skin. Sometimes they don't get all of it off. Does it look white and opaque. If so, then that's what it is.

I would have it checked out. It could be a scab, mites, or god knows what else. I really would not even want to guess without seeing it.
