Weird...

I checked up on my Diamond after work and he was in the cool end of his enclosure and looked to be gapeing, as in his head was rested upright on his body holding his mouth open
I originally thought he was yawning
But anyways his basker was off so his enclosure was low to mid 20's..so he couldn't have been too hot

any ideas guys?
Cheers

If his head is elevated and mouth agape it might not be the temps are to hot,(if there is anything wrong) rather it's cold and he has an Ri,hence the elevated head.
How's the breathing sound etc?Any mucus or bubbles out the nose?

Thanks GSXR, i saw him drinking and he's basking, all seems well i think.. no mucus or fluids and i couldn't hear him breathing so yeh
i'll just keep an eye on him, he's up for a shed and he's still eating so all appears to be well
Aprreciate the heads up

I'm just trying to get everything down pat in the hope of getting another one soon

It's all good then! Good news.
Sometimes ours just sit there with there head on their body, especially after a feed, they'll sit there with thier head on the bump looking pleased with themselves!
