Panther chameleon Breathing Heavy normal?

[Ocelot357]

Sometimes i notice that my panther breaths heavily.His stomach inflates and deflates rapidly while breathing .Is this normal?


Info
3 month old Panther chameleon

being held outdoors in direct sunlight with shade in a 34 x 24 x 24 cage (estimate)

im in los angeles the weather has been in the 75-78 hi's to 69-72 lo's

i mist the cage with a waterhose about 5 times a day for a minute

if the weather isn't right i just take him in to the indoor set up, but he hasn't been in there for a while because we have ben having good weather.

he eats and drinks water he acts normal....just this breathing thing is what is bugging me

I notice young panthers doing this. Mainly when they've just eaten or have drank. I wouldnt be concerned, unless he sits breathing with his mouth open.
