Heavy breathing dragon

In my last post I mentioned that Frank didn't like wax worms - and boy was I wrong, he loves them. But that's not the point of this post though.

When feeding him the worms, or even when he's just out in general, sometimes he'll start breathing really quickly and heavily. I don't know if this is because he's excited or he's stressed or something else good/bad, which begs my question: why does he breathe like that?

Sometimes they'll inhale quite a bit or breathe quickly and it isn't necessarily a problem. If you can post a video of his breathing I can take a look and let you know if it appears to be abnormal. If he's chasing food and eating that's a good sign. Signs of stress or sickness usually include lethargy and/or a darkened beard for an extended period so My guess is that's normal for him.
