I think my geckos are overheating- please help
I’m freaking out right now because my brother left the heater on in my room with my gargoyle and crested geckos. The temperature read 94° f when I came in about an hour ago. It was likely that hot for 5+ hours. I took them out of their enclosures and moved them to a normal temp room. I’ve given them water, which they both drank. The crested gecko seems to be doing normal, but my gargoyle keeps opening her mouth wide like she’s going to throw up.
There are no emergency vets in my area that sees exotics. The only exotic vet is not open until Monday. I’m doing my best right now, but need advice on what to do before I can see a vet.
