Hello,
I haven't posted in quite a while but I need an opinion.
My 10 year old Ctenosaura similis has started opening her mouth periodically and keeping it open until I disturb her. I know it's not a defensive behavior or high temps because she is tame as can be and I know when she is upset. I catch her doing it when no one is in the room and I saw her doing it while she was sleeping under her shelter which is cool or other cool areas of the cage. I don't hear respiratory noises or see mucus anywhere.
Is there another reason this can be happening or is this a normal thing for senior aged igs?
Thanx,
John Styner
