If anyone can give me some advice, I'm really quite worried.

I have two angle headed dragons which were all good a week ago. I went on holiday for a week and left a friend to feed/water and spray them. The temp is set at 24 degrees and and uvb light on a timer.

I've come back and one looks really weird, with a hump in his back, holding head back sort of scrunched and keeps opening his mouth! I asked the friend, apparently nothing happened except he keeps opening his mouth.

What can I do to help him. The other one looks a bit pissed off and may be sulking....

you want temperatures closer to 28-30c

make sure you're using the right kind of UVB, I would recommend something like a T5, 5% output

what you explained (a hump in back and neck scrunched up) could be the start of some MBD, but without seeing properly, it could also be the lizard in a defensive position
