Bearded Dragon Mouth Opening
What could be wrong with my bearded dragon?

My 7 month old bearded dragon has kept her mouth open almost all the time for the past 2 or 3 days. When it is shut, she keeps puffing up like she’s angry or scared. Then today when I got home from work her feces seemed watery (gross I know). Other than that she has seemed normal. She keeps eating and I mist her daily. Is she sick or is she just behaving oddly?

This is just venting (open mouth breathing), this is very normal and not a sign of distress. It is normal for them to have their mouths open. It’s how they cool down, kind of like a dog when it has its mouth open and his tongue hanging. My bearded dragon does it also, it’s perfectly normal.

The apparent drooling does concern me a bit though, your misting her daily so she’s obviously not dehydrated, not to mention bearded dragons don’t drool when dehydrated (or any time if I recall). That is probably not drooling at all, most likely it’s just her all wet after taking a dip in the water dish.

The bearded dragon got its name from the spiky flap of skin around its snout. The flap puffs up like a bristly beard when the bearded dragon feels threatened. But the bearded dragon is not nearly as ferocious as it, looks, preferring to run away rather than get into a fight. Natives of the Australian interior, these lizards are popular pets.
