Heat rocks are probably the most hated thing in the reptile community lol, Yes many reptiles tend to burn them self on them. The temp in the cage is just the right temp. Ive read many things on the internet where people freak out when their beardie does this, they then say that they called their local reptile vet and they told them he/she is just gaping. (opening their mouth to get rid of extra body heat).
Yeah, I know what it is, but I've read and heard conflicting information from various presumably credible sources and since I don't know which one is more correct I like to play it safe. Mine does it every now and then but never for more than a few minutes. If he was doing it for an hour I'd get a little concerned.
