Mouth rot...

[geckdude97]

So i have this male gecko that got in a fight with another male(the other male wasn't mine it was someone elses and it scratched him up) and any ways i read somewhere that leos that get in fights with other male leos can get mouth rot. he doesn't show any signs of mouth rot but i was wonder'n if he can still get it. Please help!!!!!

if the other gecko was not yours why were the two together?

At this point, why does that even matter??? I agree, the two males should not have been housed together, but we do not know the situation and honestly, it does not matter...

Mouth rot is not common in healthy animals... Mouth rot usually kicks in when there is a compromised immune system...
A simple "fight" will not cause mouth rot... Your gecko will be fine...
