Re: Panting????????

I know my Bearded Dragons would "pant" or also known as gapping when they were to hot, kinda like a dog does when they are trying to regulate the body temps. But if you hear something while he is doing it then thats another situation.

Re: Panting????????

It wouldn't be very loud. I'm talking of a kinda gurgling or bubbling noise. It would indicate a respiratory infection. But like Marsha said if you don't hear anything it's probably just regulating its temperature. I've seen my Uros do that before.

Re: Panting????????

The ambient temp should be around 90 deg. The basking site should be minimum 120 deg. I would go higher like 130 deg. That seems like a lot of bulbs to reach that temp.
