I have had my beardie for almost a year now and she is my whole world! I have a photo of her right here , and my problem or well my concern is her lips. http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2hgzmut&s=7
She always breathes with her mouth sort of opened as you can see right there, its like she never fully shuts her mouth. I know we all have our own quirks but it worries me because the last week me and my boyfriend moved 3 hours away and she is in a new home, and she has been doing some bigger mouth breathing actions. Such as if she is out of her cage she will begin to mouth breathe with her mouth wide open for about 30 seconds then quit. When she was a couple of months old she was put on baytril for having a respiratory infection problem, and I am so afraid this could be happening again? I think the thing I fear the most is the fact I could literally not rush her to the vet even if I had too, I am so very poor right now and its paining me to fear the worse.

Does any one have any suggestions for her? The most I have been able to do is give her reptaid - does any one know if that actually helps?
I appreciate the input so much , thank you all so much.

Hi there....well, first off, what are her temps.? Don't bother with the repta aid, it won't help that problem. Do you bathe her, what times do you do so [ morn. or evening ?] Do you keep her out of the tank after bathing ? Can you measure the humidity in the tank ? Generally , if you don't have a water bowl in the tank the humidity shouldn't be a problem. How long does she stay out of her tank to roam around ? Hope full some temp. adjustments can help. Actually, the pic doesn't show anything to be too worried about, but be sure all temps are good and she's not out after bathing so as to get chilled.

Her cage temps are at 90-95 on the lower part from basking, and her humidity is ranging from 30-40 percent. I am not sure how to get it any lower , I even tried having no water bowl. She takes baths mid day once a week and she is put in right after. I will stop the reptaid since she most likely doesn't need a million things going on. She has not been mouth breathing the last day or two, is it possible she could have just had a moment of bad air or should I look into a dr. ?

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
