Cage Info:
Cage Type - My cage is made of mesh and is 2ft by 2ft by 4ft
Lighting - What brand, model, and types of lighting are you using? What is your daily lighting schedule? I am using an eco terra 100w Daylight basking spot for heat and for UV i am using arcadia T5 D3+ 10% lights are on for 12 hours 8AM to 8PM
Temperature - Basking spot- 81.5 to 82.2, Cage floor- 68-69
Lowest overnight- Not sure will check tonight
Temps are measured with an electric thermometer
Humidity - 80-85%, I mist to maintain these levels, I use a simple exo terra analogue hygrometer.
Plants - Are you using live plants? If so, what kind? I use Devils Ivy and a Umbrella plant
Placement - It is in my room nowhere near any fans or air vents and i live in the middle of nowhere hence no traffic his cage is ruffly 3.5ft off the floor
Location - Scotland
Current Problem - The current problem you are concerned about. I just saw him basking with his mouth open he does it nowhere else only when he is basking he has done it twice now and then i think he has stopped. I am not sure if this has anything to do with it but he started doing this when i started feeding him roaches today. He seemed to like them as he took three. He has never done this before and has no known health problems so should i take him to the vet for a checkup. I will try and get some pictures of him.
