Hello all! I know that it is common for beardies to vent while basking, but my baby has been breathing with a wide mouth even when he is out of the light. He is around four month old I would say, he is a cutie =) and my best friend! I made a youtube of his breathing, this is him under a light but he is also doing this with out the light.
Things that are different in his life within the last week are
* meal worms were fed
* larger tank was given to me 20 gallons about 2 weeks ago
* He is currently shedding
IF he seems to have a lung infection I would need to find a place to take him and know what it will cost so I can do what I can to save him, he is very well taken care of. He goes to the restroom daily, eats his veggies, has his crickets, and also has the exact right heat and UVB.
IF ANY one can tell me why he is breathing with his mouth wide open, and things it may be other than his lungs- please help =)
Here he is in a youtube video breathing last night, and keep in mind he will do this out of the light as well.
