I recently had a thread about this and some ppl said theirs do it and some said theirs don't. My cham will open his mouth whenever he is under one of the lights. this morning when i cut the light out he was fine and when his light was on for around 1 hr it started. However he hasn't done it in the past 2 days before yesterday? I got some pics below. If you want me to fill out the questionaire just let me know!

How close to the light is he, and what are the temps in his cage?

 

[jones5233]

that light that he is under is the reptigo bulb and my 60 watt is about 12" away(but is not on at current time. The temp is 70.9 F and 66% Humidity

 

[jones5233]

up under the uvb bulb is prolly 80 i'd say

Just my OWN experience.. When mine did this, she was thirsty. I would mist, she would drink and things would be fine. This was with a female jackson and thats what I figured it out to be. Most of the time, from my understanding, it has to do with regulating body temp.

He drank a good amount for me yesterday( I offer some everyday so i make sure hi drinks and i mist him everyday

 

[jones5233]

well i just went and checked on him another hour later and now his mouth is closed lol.

I'm by no means a expert, but that's what I was thinking too.

they sometimes do this to adjust their body temp........jack has done this before when he has been too lazy to move from the light...
