Hey, my tegu's mouth is really stinky. Its driving me nuts. She's healthy and normal, its just old food, etc, that gets trapped in the corners and on the gums. My son used a wet qtip and somehow cleaned out some gunk from the corners of her mouth. It made a significant difference. But it came right back in 3 days. So my questions is this... can we use anything on the qtip to help rather than just moisten it?? And lastly, we don't know what we are doing... so he might have done a really poor job and if we were to do better, it would really make a difference. I need to see pictures or video on how to do this. Can anyone help?
