Mouth open in hibernation

paulus · 21-04-2012, 10:58 PM

Hi guys and girls

Just checked on my two hermanns in hibernation( due to come out tomorrow) and the female had her mouth open, she closed it quite quiclkly after, is this normal? The male has his firmly shut! All weight fine and neither had passed anything. Temps have been between 4 and 6 constantly. Used the fridge method with regular opening of the door.
