We have a new baby beardie, had him for about a week now. Today we took him out to feed him, and noticed he keep opening his mouth (not hissing). I know sometimes they do this when they regulate heat, but it just seemed weird. Also, when my boyfriend picked him up, the beardie nudged against his hand (similar to a cat brushing up against your leg).. he was doing it with his head. When he was in his feeding tank he opened his mouth a few times. When we put him back in the tank he nudged against his twig basking spot. Could that be a reaction to his shedding (he just started to)? Or is this just normal behavior or heat regulation? He's still very affectionate and calm.

When beardies shed, it's really itchy to them, so he could just be rubbing against things and opening his mouth to loosen the skin.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
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!
