i am not really sure why he is keeping it open but sephi sometimes gets in those moods where he needs to be cool and keep his mouth open. i dont know why he does it, but he always stops doing it. so, i wish i could be of more help, but as far as sephi...there is nothing wrong with him when he does it. its just his attitude i think. :) Good luck!

When iguanas have their mouth open, they are either overheated or showing aggression.

If he doesn’t leap at what he’s looking at when he gets a chance, he’s too hot.

Ditto. That’s a warning sign. If you don’t want your pet to die of heat stroke, make sure there is a bowl of fresh water in the cage, and reduce the temp- or increase the distance of the lamp to the iggy.
