I just turned his cam on to check on him and caught him doing this. He actually was in the process of opening his mouth REALLY wide and I grabbed the screen as quick as I could. IDK how long he was doing this but his mouth is closed now. Only thing that has really been changed is I increased the strength of the water mister last night because the past few nights his humidity has gone down to high 70s - low 80s. Increasing the mister strength brought it back up to the 80s-90s last night. And I moved the fogger a little closer to where he sleeps, because I noticed it likely wasn't really reaching him before.
It's been a minute or so since I grabbed this screen and he seems fine and not opening his mouth. Could this just be from him basking and being a little hot? I've read they just do that sometimes and it's totally normal. Keep in mind I have his basking area set to not go over 84f.
