Re: mouth open

Please define "His temps are right"

Tell us everything about your set up, you keep posting but wont tell us how big the tank is, the temps, their diet, the substrate, the lgihting set up or anything. It's very important to have the right set up to keep your pets happy and healthy.

With that said you could be describing a URI or an overheated dragon, or stress, or something stuck in the mouth.

I know i've posted these links before, but please look for a vet in your area for the sake of your pets.

Help us help you and tell us about your set up.

Re: mouth open

Hello,

You have several threads going now, all that contain odd and unusual behavior with your dragons. I highly suggest you see a vet as well.

If you want help with your dragon I suggest you give US the information. We will not go looking for it. Your dragon sounds ill and needs to see a vet. Also youtube is blocked from this site.

Re: mouth open

I'm with everyone else on this site. Your dragons all seem rather ill and I would take them to a vet pronto. Owning a Water Dragon is much like owning a dog or cat. When they get sick, you take them to a vet. Your Water Dragon should be no different.

Re: mouth open

I am really with everyone else on here, you need to seek a vet as soon as possible! Lacey gave you the link for it,,I would definately find one. They will be able to tell you what is going on as they will physically see the animals. It is hard for us to say anything when we have not seen them.
