Breathing heavy

[Sh3wulf]

Benny is now in his repaired environment and I will be doing some playing around with temps, but have him settled. (See thread called "Broken Home" for more on that.)

I notice however that he is breathing rather heavily. Should I be concerned?

Looks like normal breathing on this video....if you are running high humidity just be sure that the temps don't fall below 80 degrees day or night

Thanks Ascot. Haven't seen his throat expanding like that before, is this something that develops as they get older? He's been stretching his neck and rolling his head too.

He seems a bit better today. Expanding throat isn't reflective of a bullfrog looking for company.

I have decided to forgo his soaks for a couple days. Just let him adjust and calm down with as little handling as possible. The humidity in his tank is over 90% right now while all the wet substrate dries out. He should be good for moisture and has a watering bowl. right thinking?
