Possibly respiratory infection!!!

So I was bathing my baby beardie yesterday and he decided he didn't like me dropping water on his back. Well he decided to turn around and hiss at me ( not his best idea) and a little bit of water went in his mouth. Then he started coughing and it soon stopped. He seems fine now a bit cranky because he's in shed but otherwise fine. I was just wondering what signs I should look for?

Thanks!

I doubt that will cause a long term problem. Maybe have him sleep with his body facing downward slightly to help water drain from his lungs. I wouldn't worry too much though if he has good lighting and is otherwise healthy. Things to look out for include lethargic behavior, a lot of mucous buildup around the mouth and nose, and regular heavy breathing or trouble breathing.

I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
