Opening mouth a lot

[LR72]

I've noticed my Russian tortoise which I've had for about 2 weeks keeps opening her mouth and chewing on nothing. I've seen her yawn once or twice in the past 3 days but i didn't think much of it, only thing worrying me now is that shes opening her mouth (not that wide) and does a chewing motion. Is this reason for concern?

Is she making any noise?
Whats the temps, basking, over all, day, night

No noise, temps are around 28 Celsius, 34 basking, 18-20 at night

She might have a piece of food that you can't see that she's chewing on. Try to look in when she opens it
Otherwise just keep an eye on her to see if she keeps doing it or if anything else develops.

Could be the start of a respiratory infection. Get the basking temp up to 37, and try to keep it at least 22 over night for a while.
