Still gaping??

I took my cham to the vet on last weeks monday to get him checked out for RI. I got setup with some meds to give him through ten days for the RI. I haven't heard any crackling or popping anymore but he's still gaping :/ His temps are between 79-70 except for where his light is which is at 84 degrees. His humidity is kept close to 60% and his appetite is great. I have a dripper setup to drip on some leaves in his enclosure. He's very active as well. So other than the gaping he seems to be in good shape.

My question is: is this normal behavior for jacksonii xanth? How long till chams make a full recovery from RI?
 
probably still recovering.

temps: do you have another thermo to test the basking spot?

Yeah I actually have two thermostats. One is where the basking light is hitting directly and the other one is on the lower part of the cage.

I would second that he is still recovering. When we have RI it takes weeks to get rid of it completely. Just keep an eye on it. Also pay attention to the temps.
