Is it possible that your gecko could have been venting? Since reptiles can't sweat, geckos and lizards in particular will sit with their mouths open if they are too hot, to try and release some of the heat that way. Are temps okay?

Awesome, just wondering. I've yet to see any of my geckos do that, so I couldn't be sure.
