The conditions you describe would not cause these RI symptoms. How are you measuring your indoor temps? Are you measuring the outdoor temps? Cold water spray on a hot sunny day won't do it either. I spray my hatchlings with cold hose water on hot sunny days all the time. When it gets hot out, I spray mine every hour or so. I have raised over two hundred sulcata and leopard hatchlings this way with zero issues and no respiratory infections ever.

I have four guesses:

1. He got too hot outside and over heated.
2. He ate something he shouldn't have.
3. Some sort of bug attack.
4. Residual effects from being housed incorrectly as a hatchling and it has nothing to do with what you've done with him since you've had him. If you got him from a good source, you can eliminate this as a possible factor.
