she is by the window but the temps inside the cage stay around 75 during the day. She has plenty of shade and comes and goes all day all over the enclosure. There's been no wheezing. She only does this when under the basking light. she will open her mouth for about a half minute to a minute then close it for a bit, then repeat.I see you have her by the window….are you sure the temperature is less than 85F? 85F is a little warm anyway IMHO.
Does she make any wheezing sounds? Only do it under the light?
I think your quickest way to rule out something other than temps being too high is to simply lower the temps in her basking area and see if this stops or lessens.she is by the window but the temps inside the cage stay around 75 during the day.

Will do. Thanks muchI think your quickest way to rule out something other than temps being too high is to simply lower the temps in her basking area and see if this stops or lessens.
My male panther does this when basking for a second or two. Sometimes a few seconds, but not really that often anymore. He used to do it more when I incorrectly had his basking area too high and as soon as I lowered it, I noticed a change (doing it less) immediately.
