He could be too hot. When animals gape their mouths wide open it may mean temps are too high and he needs to cool down. It also could be a number of things. We need more info for anyone to be able to help. Habitat, food, temps, captive bred or wild caught etc...

does he open hs mouth and swing back and forth or does he just open his mouth. 95 is a good basking temp for veiled but i woud drop the buld to a 75watt. how often does he get water.what color was he when he open his mouth. he might have became sexually mature and is more teritorial now when your around. photo would help a lot.
