My beardie, Eep, opens her mouth pretty wide, then closes it again. I know gaping is OK, and normal, but I am worried because the behavior where she opens her mouth and closes it often occurs just on the couch, where it isn't really warm enough for her to gape to regulate heat. Of course, she might just like to stretch her mouth and it might be specific to her.
We've brought her in to see a exotics vet, and the vet doesn't detect anything wrong. She remains pretty alert and active (for a beardie) but I am still worried.
