Hi,
Ok little spike is sitting on his log under his basking light with his mouth open. Is this normal? I've not noticed him do this before. He ate 5 crickets about 45 minutes ago and he sat in his water dish for about a minute then went to his log where he is now.

it's typically thermoregulating. How his body lets go of heat, or adapts to it. Like a dog panting

Actually he most likely is singing some ballad or another ;)

Honestly no, he is regulating as Gina said.. I couldn't resist ;)
