Hello everyone,
I’ve noticed my beardie has been breathing heavily. He’s been taking big breaths in and sometimes gaping to breathe out. I would think that he was overheating since it does get pretty hot in his tank but then I noticed he was drooling a bit. He has also make little clicking noises with his mouth whenever he breathes out, like he’s trying harder to breathe. He’s also been walking wobbly and it looks like it takes extra effort for him to move around his tank. Today he flipped over on his back in his enclosure and was unable to flip back around until I quickly ran over and flipped him myself. I’m worried that if I’m not home and he does the same I’ll be too late to help him. Can anyone pitch me suggestions or ideas on how to help my beardie recover?
