And this baby was diagnosed with an RI. I feel like this looks no different than my baby, except I can’t tell if the one in the post is basking.
The act is still the same for my bearded dragon. Only during basking, except today I took her off of her basking spot and then like 3 seconds later she did it.. so I think that still counts as temp regulating. But I don’t know, everything I see with this “burping” act looks like an RI, because she is not doing the normal act where they open their mouths and just leave it open.
I can definitely go to the vet if needed. Just curious if this changes your mind?
The one in the pic looks like its stretching its beard -- which is what they do when shed is coming on --
get another video of what shes doing w/ the beard stretching -- there is no noise like popping or wheezing mucous present ? Make sure your UVB is in proper place - are you using a T 5 and is it on top of screen or inside the tank ? UVB and basking temps are crucial to the health --

Here is how the uvb and heat are angled in comparison to her branches and hammock. Let me know if I need to change it. I use a t5 10.0 and basking is 105.
Your screen on the tank -- is it a fine mesh? If it is the fixture needs to be unobstructed - the screen is blocking 30% of the UVB rays -- can you take the back part off ? the distance for a T 5 is 12-15 inches directly above the basking decor -- your tank looks really nice for her -- as she gets bigger tho the sticks in the tank are not going to be wide enough - for now they are good for her as a baby but as she grows your gonna want something wider -- The temps how are you getting them? If your using a IR gun its not gonna be accurate on the hammock -- you will need a digital probe --- and your basking bulb looks like its a off white color? You want a bright white -- post a video when you can and we will go from there -

Those look good --- please NO ENEMAS----- take the sample in w/ you----- doing a enema on her could kill her ----------------- we have had too many instances on here w/ vets doing them ---- get a sample put it in a ziploc bag - put it in the fridge if you haft to between now and then and take it w/ you!! viewtopic.php?f=45&t=252267

Okay, I’m going to an exotics vet but I’ll make sure of that.
Here is the video of her right now, again it is only while basking. https://youtu.be/Gldq8ka8GAI
Shes so cute!! To me shes gaping and regulating her temp --- no sign of being lethargic shes eating and basking and shes not breating hard-- I 'd say shes good --- we can let Tracie and AHBD take a look -- but to me shes fine
