just wanted to drop by and see if anyone could explain why i catch gnomeo doing what seems like yawning so much only outside of his cage. i know it’s not supposed to be aggressive because it’s just a quick stretch open for a couple of seconds at random, and i’m only slightly worried it could be a respiratory infection. there’s not any noise accompanying the yawns besides maybe his jaw moving, and he saw the vet just yesterday with no signs of anything wrong, but he’s doing it way too frequently for me to think this is normal.
i keep his cage clean and his humidity is controlled between 30-40%, so realistically, i’m thinking the only way he could develop a URI is through the thirty minute soaks prescribed by my vet.
if anyone has any experience with a dragon doing this, could you let me know if you found anything going on after awhile that i could be missing? thanks!
edit: thought i would add that he’s not shedding at all right now and also isn’t eating by himself because of impaction from his metabolic bone disease flaring up this winter (in case that’s important to mention)
