My bearded dragon breathes strangely after bath and exercise. Normal?

Question

I have a 11 and a half month old bearded dragon and his name is Cosmo... I have noticed this but I really don't know if he's been doing this the whole time but anyway, it's the way he is breathing... And pretty much only when I give him a bath and get runs around. He will breath kinda slow then it will go a little faster and then stops and does it again and usually when he does that each time his beard will very slightly go out a bit, and he also does not have any signs of a RI so I don't know.

Hello, that sounds like normal breathing to me. What I would suggest you do, is get a video of this behavior and then just take it by a vet office (one that is used to treating reptiles) and show it to them. I'm sure they would be happy to give you an opinion. That would give you a better idea than me trying to ascertain what is normal just based on your description. Hope this helps. Best wishes!
