Kali,it is common for igs to sneeze.They are getting rid of excess salts.Yawning is common too or at least all ours have yawned from time to time.Gaping is another thing than yawning in that gaping is a way for lizards to regulate their temps,but if it isn't too hot or if the humidity isn't right than the gaping may mean something else and a vet visit is in order.Have them do a fecal for parasites if you can get a fresh stool sample and if you're lucky,the ig will give you one in the office.Hope your vet is a reptile vet and he should ask you a lot of questions about your igs set up and diet.If he tells you to feed animal protein,,in MHO run and find a different vet.hope this helps a little.
