Wyclef having beard problems?

Ok so this is kind of hard to explain but basically Wyclef's beard has been in a suspended 'puff' state for the past two days. He is stilll running around and active, but will occasionally 'snap' his mouth open as if he were in the presence of a predator. He is also pooping fine and there are no irregularities or foul smells to it. It seems like he has some symptoms of a RI, but he has not gone any environment changes and his basking spot is 113 with a digi temp reading it. He started shedding his underside about the same time this began two days ago so I wonder if it's related, here are some pics any help would be appreciated

hm I'm not sure his last shed he did nothing similar to that.....I also noticed while he's gaping you can notice green mush (possibly mustard greens) in the back of his throat, but he has yet to eatt anything today. Would this suggest blockage somewhere?

i know when y dragons inhale food their beards seem to be filled with the food but they eventually swallow it nd it goes away...ive never heard of it happening for several days..

Hey star What type of UVB light are you using and how far away from it can your beardie get? Also I would probally go to a vet and get that beard checked out, I doubt green stuff in the throat without eating is a good thing.

I have a megaray which is 11-12 in. away from his basking spot and another regular light to boost the heat. I just got home from class and noticed what looked like all that food thrown up, although Wyclef seems in much better spirits. I will prbly take him to a vet 2moro if he keeps displaying unnatural behavior
