Sorry to hijack the thread, but i read that article, click on the "more info" tab about "Gaping", which my beardie seems to be doing alot lately and the article says it could be due to respitory infection, however it also says it can be to do with the beardie releasing heat (which is more likely as he has none of the symptoms of a RI).

However should i still take it to the vet?

pythonlover- I've heard that adding some vegetable oil to its food may help as it lubricates the digestive system.

starkey- Its probably too hot, turn the temp down a bit.
