It was usually 95. But in her new home she isn't doing it, she seems real happy with the added space. When I finish the full size enclosure I'll use this one to watch new aquisitions. The temp in this one ranges from 77-93. Heh she just jumped from the top to the bottom.

Humidity

I live in Las Vegas so there's almost no natural humidity in my room. My boyfriend and I bought an ExoTerra Fogger. I was about 40 bucks at PetSmart and it was totally worth it. If you can't find it at a local petstore, I would check Ebay. We keep it on during the day and it keeps the habitat humidity at around 80 percent. I would suggest it for anyone with a water dragon. Sobe and Optimus love it!

I wouldn't worry TOO too much. Definitely get her checked out, as I did when mine was doing that. The vet said she seemed very healthy and checked her breathing, which also sounded good. They do it when they're stressed -did the dragon just arrive at the shop?- and also when they're physically exhausted, like when my dragon fruitlessly tried to catch four fish in a tiiiiiiiiiny container :P (She'd be so dead in the wild <_<)

But it IS often a sign of a respiratory infection, which is why if it keeps up it's a good idea to take the critter to the vet. Just saying not to panic too much. It also seems to be something they do while basking to regulate temperature; crocs do it too, and tricia has a picture of one of her dragons doing it in the sun where she describes it as "grinning"
