He doesn’t gape. He did when we first got him before I knew anything. LOL 🤦‍♀️ His air temps are hard for me. I did get it to 88° finally! I moved a few things around in his enclosure and added some stuff to help hold some more heat in there. Seems to be helping. He does seem to be more active since I got his basking temp higher. He moves around more, from his branch, to the basking spot, to his log. He is now starting to shed and I have read that they are uncomfortable during shedding so maybe that is a little bit of why also?!?!
For sure, they can be cranky or stand offish, they may hide or have low appetite ect. Shedding effects them all a little differently so there is no one size fits all answer for that.
If he is moving around more after making warmer, it sounds like your on the right tract 🙂

To start, this forum is great! I am so thankful that I found it! Thank you all for your help, advice and suggestions! I wanted to update this thread in case people come looking for the same issue I have had with Rex.
I stopped his meds immediately per the advice on this thread and I have since purchased a UVB 6.5 meter and have adjusted all of his lights to have the proper heat and UVB as close as I can to what he needs. It’s still not completely perfect, but it is so much better than it was! Just by how Rex is behaving I know we are closer to keeping him more healthy and happy! I have cleaned his poo up immediately when I see it and I clean with F10 after every poo! He is now active, curious and showing so much more of his personality since I have made all of these adjustments. His poo is solid, food is digested and the smell has actually not been as bad. It’s still stinky but not like it was!
I had another thread that has also helped me with all of my lighting and enclosure questions also and I posted some pictures. I’ll do the same here!

Again… Thank you all for the help and advice! 🤍

It's pretty normal 🙂
Does he gape at all when in the basking? If not it might could stand to be a tad warmer. A gaping dragon is a warm dragon. If they spend to whole day basking and don't move much they may not be getting to a comfortable temperature.
Look who is gaping now!!! 😊

I’m not even sure how or when this happened. His face is even a different shape! LOL I wish they would keep their cute little round heads.

Hello,

They change so quickly! The shape of his face will change as he gets older & matures...he wont have a baby face much longer. LOL

Sir Henry the dragon
Looking for his dragon girl
Ventures out in to the wide world
His hopes are up but as you can see
There is no dragon girl for Sir Henry
A light bulb goes off and he takes mom aside
Could you perchance get me a mail order bride ?

Hey! We’re the same age! That’s cool!
Hi there a little update we went from a 50 watt heat lamp to a 100 watt basking halogen heat lamp hahaha I saw some comments about it being so close so I made sure to put it a ruler away from her
Has anyone seen this before? Something in the corner of his mouth
Luna is thriving
