hello, I am new here and I foster beardies along with other lizards from a rescue and recently am fostering a baby beardie. I am concerned that he has a respiratory infection, he repeatedly breathes through his mouth and wheezes and is making wierd squeaking sounds. If this is a respiratory infection how severe is it and how can it be resolved? he is in a 20 g tank (he is 8 1/2 inches long) his lighting is a 50 watt zoo med Repti Basking Spot Lamp and a UVB strip light and the ambient temperature is around 86. His diet consists of small phoenix worms, dubia roaches, and crickets. I took his water bowl out and mist him every day instead (for humidity control) and give him a bath about once a week. All help is greatly appreciated, Thanks!
