open mouth

So my beardie has been swallowing and opening his mouth a lot for the past ten minutes and there’s no sound which makes me think he’s just gaping but it’s a lot and it’s worrying me he hasn’t had a bath recently so I don’t think it’s that

i only very recently started caring for my dragon, so please bear with me if my question seems obvious: my dragon has only recently started basking, as she was left with no basking lamp or any adequate heat source for just about a year before i got her. i checked on her just a few minutes ago...
