She gapes when she's basking and when she's not basking, hot side is always between 96F and 101F. Cool side stays between 80F and 90F. Her humidity has been between 50% and 60%. She's only two months old and I've had her for a week. She's currently going into shed. She hasn't really eaten in two days, she seems more tired as well.
I held her up to my ear to listen, I heard little popping sounds. Her night temps are at 100F due to her nightlight, I turn off her basking light and it goes down to 85F over there.
Oh no, 100 at night is way too high ! That itself can cause the breathing problems. Cut the lights off at night, you only need a heat source if it goes below 68 [ for a baby ] and then you would use a CHE [ ceramic heat emitter ] that produces heat but no light. If the temp. is 70-80 at night, you don't need a heat source. and besides that, the lights disrupt their sleep even if it's dark.
Your baby may be overheated + dehydrated so give it some water with a dropper , slowly drip on his snout.

Your friend said to leave the uvb on at night ? If so that is totally incorrect, all lights go off at night.
Hope she drinks some, and that her breathing will improve once she can cool off at night.

Thank you so much. I will try this and see how she does. Right now she isn't eating anything and just wants to be behind her basking tree. Again, thank you so much for your help.
