I think my beardie might have a respiratory infection. He periodically opens his mouth and breathes heavily. I'm taking him to the vet on Monday. I can't seem to get my humidity down. I've tried removing the water dish and placing it away from the basking light but it is still just too humid. How can I get it to go down! It is dangerously high, it's at 59%.
respiratory infection??

Hello,
Hopefully he doesn't have a respiratory infection. Do you see any signs of mucous in his mouth or nose or has he wheezed or coughed?
You can try a dehumidifier to help bring down the humidity.
What are the temperatures in his tank? Also, keep his tank a little warmer overnight, around 80, to help boost his immune system.
Let us know how he is doing.

What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
