i just purchased a juvenile (7-8month old) male beardie this past weekend (named him baymax). he is acting strangely today he’s been eating fine but will open his little mouth every couple of seconds and breathe really heavily. im a new beardie mom and its really concerning me, i already love him so much. if anyone wants to get in touch with me personally please do and ill send a video of his breathing and mouth gaping. anything will help!! please im clueless!!!!!
Please go over his tank husbandry- UVB brand and bulb coil or tube where in the tank on top of screen or inside the tank--- humidity level basking temps what are they and how are you taking them -- NO stickons! They are inaccurate- please record a video on YouTube and post the link in the message box

Yes, please do review your tank setup with us, so we can be sure it is all correct for your
dragon.
Try to keep him a little warmer overnight, around 75-80, to help his immune system right
now. If you have any water dish in his tank, go ahead & remove that in the case he is
developing a respiratory infection.
You can just copy/paste the link onto here or simply upload the video using the XMG or the
image composer.
How is he doing this morning? Did you get a appt w/ one of the vets you found? You might need to invest in a heat emitter - they produce no light only heat and you will need a dome w/a ceramic socket- they come in different wattages like 75 100 etc I would get a 100 watt--- I see you did get the video posted of him breathing - he does need to see a vet ASAP -
