mIne do this occasionally...I agree with Lovetheleo...most of us have seen this behavior....it is important to offer them a multilevel basking tree, rock, etc. so they can go up & down for their temperature comfort...Take good care B Be sure you have the cool side.

He’s gorgeous! And yea, it’s called gaping, just a normal part of a beardies behavior, they do it to regulate the body temps...
