Hi, our Bearded Dragon has started opening his mouth a lot more than normal. We went to the local vet because he also had a small bit of swelling on his lip. The vet has given him some antibiotics for the lip. It seems about the same after a week. Not sure if these things are related by I'm concerned about the mouth opening.

sometimes beardies open their mouth while basking because they have finally reached the perfect temp and want it to stay that way. Them opening their mouth is sorta like us sweating.

does he mostly open his mouth while basking?

It used to be mainly when he was basking but recently its been more random and frequent.

Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
