bearded dragons mouth

Question
I noticed that you asked if the mouth of the bearded dragon was pale/white?  What would that indicate?

Answer
Hello Nancy,

The inside of a bearded dragon's mouth should be a healthy pink in color.  If it is white or pale in color, that can indicate dehydration or anemia.  The anemia can be caused by parasites that are zapping nutrition from her which will cause dehydration along with it.
