hey i noticed my beardies mouth open sometimes when hes basking and i was wondering if thats a problem or not. just trying to figure it out now befoer it gets worse if anythings even wrong
 
If he's basking it is normal, thermoregulating the word I believe where he is just simply keeping himself at the right temperature like a dog panting.

If he does this whilst in his cool spot your temperatures are too high and need revising.

He can also do this along with a puffed beard to show dominance.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
