Okay so despite my efforts to lower the basking temp, increasing ventilation by getting a much larger screen cage, and making sure he's getting the right supplements and good water, my Jax is STILL gaping his mouth. Even at night when the heat lamps are off. There is no residue or excess saliva...
Jackson Tongue Problem Urgent Please help!!!
Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - New Jackson I got it 2 weeks ago its a male. hes about 4ish months
Handling -handled once every other dayish
Feeding - I feed him 8ish crickets a day but he doesn't eat them all. I gut load them with Total Feed...
Temps are lower and ventilation seems good but his mouth is still open. There's no coughing/wheezing/residue accompanying this could he maybe just be pissed at my presence?
Thank you so much for your help!! Yes monty I super active. Thanks to you I'm working on getting a screen cage that is larger ASAP. I think he will be much happier with that. And he's not sleeping during the day anymore! Thanks guys!
