Open mouth, not heat regulating or bearding

[Natt]

I feel like im asking way too many questions but heres another anyways..

Ive had Killara for 2 weeks and the last few days she's been opening her mouth maybe 5 times a day but shes not bearding and her warm end is only 88 because I'm still using the same set up and stuff she came with.

Before I get in trouble I know its meant to be warmer than that and im getting a higher watt bulb tomorrow, she's digesting fine and loves to be in her hammock on the cool side (77) for a good portion of the day.

Anyways.. why would she be doing this if she's not being intimidated or regulating her body temperature?

I don't know if it's got a particular name when it's not gaping for
thermo-regulation or a threat display....

I call it the "beardie grin".

Mellow does it a lot. She'll look over at us and "grin". It usually gets her
out of her cage for awhile too :mrgreen:

Haha thats good, I was worried it might be something respitory but its far from constant.

Thanks for clearing that up!
