mouth problem?

Are you saying the vitamin A will help with that?

Yes. Lack of vitamin a could be the cause, or just lazy.

I'm thinking that might be it. Don't think the pet store took too good of care for him. Only offered him a few crickets everyday and never a source of calcium or vitamins. Really wanna take care of this guy well

Pet stores often take minimal care of their animals, not all but some. It's to save time and money. Imagine having all those animals to feed and dust. Some pet stores also assume that animals will be sold quickly so they don't need to take good care of them. Do you know how long they had him for?

Wow that is BAD!!! No calcium, d3 or multivitamin for almost 6 months. What were they thinking? You need to get him some Exo Terra Multivitamin powder quick. I only say Exo Terra because that's what I use but there may be better stuff available but I like Exo Terra in general so that's why I got it.

Good luck!!! Would you mind posting pics some time. I would like to see the little guy.

Short Tongue Syndrome is caused by a lack of both Calcium and Vitamin A, but if lacking in one and not the other it can still appear. Vitamin A is essential in the production of the sticky mucus on their tongues and that of the protective mucus they coat their skin with.

You need to provide a multivitamin once per week. Rep-Cal Herptivite is an excellent source of Vitamin A because they converted Beta-Carotene into Vitamin A to prevent Vitamin A Toxicity which is deadly.
