Question
my African fat tailed gecko's mouth it shut it got healed up together or something he cant even open it like 2 mm what do i do?

Answer
Though I hate to answer a question with a question here goes.  How do you know it's stuck shut?  That would be fairly uncommon for that to happen.  Does the gecko have any discharge or pus in it's mouth?  Any swelling or redness?  If that's the case you should probably take it to the vet.  If you just have not seen the gecko open it's mouth lately then it's probably nothing to worry about.
