Rib Cage Deformity?

[Spydr]

so i was watching my new baby beardie's sides as she was heavily breathing during a cricket chase, and her entire sides to not inflate, just the front half of the torso, like a humans would. but bearded dragons ribs go along the entire length of their torso. my 12 inch male doesn't seem to have this issue. is it a baby thing? this is my first baby, my male i got at 8 inches. but then again i work at petsmart in pet care and never noticed this kind of shape distortion when breathing.

When Stanley (also a baby) starts breathing hard, I only see the top part of his chest/sides move in and out.

I don't think it's a deformity, it looks pretty normal to me. :mrgreen:

i hope so. i don't want anything wrong with her.
