He is in a bad mood, or when I am annoying him! He
is acting like he will bite me and he wants to hiss,
but unfortunately he can't make the noise! But, it
does look like he is trying to gasp for air. I
hope that is all that is wrong with your iggy!

: This is in the cage under the heat lamp but when i am near him he seems to do it more. he is very scared of me and i cant handle him or he will play dead.

: : Does he do this when he is outside or too hot? They can gape for this reason. Also if he is diplaying for you and looking all tough...he may open his mouth. And, they open their mouth for yawning of course. I think these are the only 3 reasons my iguanas ever opened their mouthes besides stuffing large quantities of food in it!
