Thats not normal, possibly mouth rot? Have you opened her mouth and looked inside? Take her to the vet to.

Does she have a habit of "rubbing" her face up against the glass?

Is she bubbling or gaping her mouth?

What temperature is her basking spot?

It could be mouth rot or possibly a respitory infection, raise the basking temps and get her to a vet ASAP

THey are in a wire viv, and actually i am recovering them from previous occurances of mouth rot, using a collastate ( something the vet gave me ). Inside her mouth it doesnt look very bad at all, all pink gums and stuff, except the very tip of her nose is very scabbed up. She lays undera ceramic light-less heatlamp that is 100ish degrees, though she still eats normal..
