A couple of weeks ago I had my iguana with me in my conversion van, and he did the exact same thing. Thing is, sure it was hot, but if I was able to bear it, why couldn't he? The windows were open and we were going 40mph, so there was a breeze. He's done this twice. He runs around the van with his mouth agape, white head and all, so it has to be the heat. I always get him out of the van as soon as possible when he exhibits these signs, which has been twice. It's like they get scared to death and run around like chickens with their heads cut off. I must say though, they look very pretty when they are that warm.

: ok, i live in a cold climate, but every once in a while(summer) it gets pretty hot. well since i keep myu lizard in the kitchen and she has like 3 lights, it kinda heats up the house, so my mom and i decided to put her cage out side, thinking she would enjoy the sunshine and LOVE the temperature(100F)so we put her outside in her cage. well i didn't see this but i guess my mom did. my lizrad had her mouth open like she was panting and she was running frantically around her cage. was she too hot? was she happy? well wither way we put her inside. i tried it again today and misted her everyonce in a while, she didn't seem as bad, but any answers?
