heavy breathing

Postby Y33T » Wed Jan 10, 2018 1:58 am

is heavy breathing normal? my 11 month old eastern is huffing a lot more and louder than he used to.
could it be caused by stress because he's going to shed soon? can they get stressed before shedding?

Hmm I’m not for sure but I know just about all lizards get really grumpy when they are shedding or are about to. Is the huffing like when you try to play with him or just you can hear it from his cage?
