spots in mouth?

keithlove Aug 10, 2003 11:18 PM

My baby gator used to have almost a pure white mouth and awhile back got about a half a dozen faint spots on her tongue area.
Is it a type of algea?
Was wandering if is was anything to worry about?
what is the cause?
and how to treat it?
thanks!!!

I would have to see some detailed close-up photos to even think of offering an opinion.

What color are the "spots"? I say it isn't likely to be algae because of what algae needs to thrive, 'environment-wise'. I'm sure it's nothing to worry about. Gators are probably the most resilient reptiles on the face of the planet. I'd still be curious to see pictures if possible.
