Strange yawning?

Not open for further replies.
My beardie is 11 weeks old. He was at the vet about two weeks ago for a checkup and we were told he’s completely healthy in regards to his weight and hydration. However, in the last 2 or 3 days I’ve noticed he keeps opening his mouth really wide (wider than when he’s basking) and puffing his beard, almost as if he’s choking, even though he doesn’t do it when he’s eating. I read online this can be a sign of a respiratory infection, but he’s not showing ANY other symptoms. He still eats a lot, and he can chase his crickets just fine. I really hope someone has an answer as this has been confusing my whole family for days now! Thanks:)

My girl does the yawn now and then .... I have always found it to be a little thing they do that’s super loveable. Sometimes when she is shedding her face (generally only once a year tho - she’s 8 and a half years old) ... but I think during that time, it can be her trying to loosen up a face shed. She will also do some eye-bulging during a face shed too a which is always a wild sight to see - ha!

Having said that - she will also give a yawn once in a while just because ? she can ....

My beardie is doing that right now while I am writing this and he is shedding. I noticed that when he did that i could see shed. So I think the eye bulging might mean that it shedding

Yup, it helps loosen the skin while they are shedding, or about to shed. :)

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
