Hey guys,
So I know that beardies will mouth gape to regulate internal temperature etc, but I also noticed some people mentioning respiratory issues. My little guy mouth gapes quite often, even when he is outside the viv (but still hot) and sometimes when he is cold. I just placed him back in the viv after about 20-30 min of hanging out with us outside in 75 degree weather (in my house). He isn't breathing heavily from what I can see and there is no noise associated with it, so is there any other possibilities or is he just being normal?
Thanks!
Travis
