Arlgiht I went in to check on my baby Eastern Spiny Tailed Lizards and the babies have there little mouths open a little bit for about 5 - 7 mins and after they close there mouths, they have been doing this for the past 2 weeks. I have fed them well gut loaded crikets and they have there calcium too.
So any input? thank you for your time.

overheated, maybe? trying to cool themselves off is a possibility...

They do that to release heat. It's normal to do it occasionally but if it's pretty frequent, I would double check the temps of the enclosure
