This morning when I went in my animal room to turn everyone’s heat and lights on for the day I noticed my beardie was open mouth breathing, which sometimes he does when he gets hot so I didn’t think to much about it. But I went back in about an hour later and he did it again. So I picked him up and looked at him and I noticed one of his nostrils is blocked my (maybe mucus?) or maybe shed I’m not sure. I tried to listen to his breathing and it sounds almost like a snotty nose is the best way to put it. No eye discharge, he’s always lazy so it’s hard to say with that. And he did eat bugs yesterday so he was eating fine. His basking area gets plenty hot (around 100 degrees give or take) and ambient temp is always at LEAST 85 normally higher) we are in our dry season so humidity has been in the 30s. I do turn heat and everything off at night. My house stays around 75 during the night. Do you think this could be a respiratory Infection? Should I make a vet appointment?
