Respiratory infection??

I’m starting to get pretty worried about my baby beardie, I think he may have a respiratory infection. He opens his mouth, it might be gaping because it’s when he gets under the heat lamp but I’m not sure. I’ve seen his throat move, almost like a frog does, but only a few times. he is shedding 2 of his legs. There hasn’t been any mucus discharge out of his nose but I’m still starting to think it’s a respiratory infection. Here’s a picture of him with his mouth open, I tried to get the inside of his mouth, does that look ok?

I agree, he is likely just regulating his temperature while he basks. This is normal behavior.

Ok thank goodness I was really worried and I don’t have a ton of money to spend on the vet since he eats so much.. Dubia roaches are not cheap when he eats 50-60 a day!!!

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 💔
