I've upped the humidity, given uvb light as well as trips outside when weather is sunny. He is a voracious eater of all things. I was just wondering if...

    Is half his chin swollen?

    It's just the one part of his chin, no other part is swollen. He is eating and pooping good. He is active and seems to be comfortable enough to stretch all limbs out and bask.
