if your temps are correct, opening the mouth is a method which many reptiles use to release some heat from their body. As long as there is a good heat gradient within the enclosure, it should be fine. The other common cause of gaping is respiratory infection, but if your temps are right, this shouldn't be the issue.

Is he kinda... flapping his neck when he does this? If so, he's thermoregulating.
