ok i need help i have no clue what caused this but my female had a mouth infection in both corners of her mouth they have scabbed up now and are starting to heal but now her left eye is swollen and droopy lemme know what u think (this is only till i can find a vet out here that takes herps)

Go to yellowbook.com and look up reptile vets. I say that if you can't get her to a vet right away, at least talk to someone(even if its not in your area) to see if they know how to help her in the meantime.

mouthrot. My male got very sickly and has that exact thing. I took him to the vet and they said it was mouthrot. He is still sick but doing better. The gave me some antibiotics for him and stuff to heal it up. Take him to a vet and he should be alright

That is very not good. Her head is asymmetrical- the left is very swollen and lumpy. More likely the face is swollen so much the eye/eyelid is pushed up, vs. the eyelid being droopy. The right looks more normal and compared to the right the left eye is higher.

She definitely needs a vet. Hopefully they will be able to get you some good drugs to clear it up. A good herp vet is obviously better, but if you can't find one try for someone with 'pocket pet' experience or something. This is definitely not something to sit on.

ya thats what happened to my male. one side of his face swelled up but it has gone down and he looks better now. Is yours not eating? Mine didnt wat for like2-3 weeks.

shes seems to eat fine ive never seen her actually eat personally in the 4 years ive had her but i always keep a 1/4 of my mealworm colony in that cage. she still puts on weight so thats good problem is there are no vets around here that take herps except a vet hospital and from what ive heard they arnt very good. I put some triple antibiotic cream on that one side below her eye so hopefully it should get better. im comming into the tailend of the mouthrot though since the spots are scabbing up and healing.
