Shed or respiratory disease

[kariann]

Can shed head (maybe shed in nostrils) cause open mouth breathing? My dragon is eating well, maybe a little less active (due to shed?), but he has no ocular or nasal discharge. It probably isn't thermoregulation because he is doing it often at surface temps of 98F.

Thanks in advance for your reponses!

My dragon is 3yrs. old and has always kept her mouth open a little ways for some reason.
I used to think she didn't get the shed out of her nose (looks like a funnel when it comes out)
but it comes out fine.
I don't know why she does it but she's fine and doing well.

Now there are little crackling sounds and mucous in his mouth. He has a respiratory infection. : (
