is it opening its mouth every few seconds like its yawning? if so its just shedding and eating its skin. its normal.

or youve fed it something it doesnt want and he will vomit it up aventually. im sure its nothing to be worried about?

sounds like it's just shedding, but a little idea, just incase, the bark (if loose) could cause impaction, which is why a lot of amphibian keepers won't use it. I personally use eco-earth with a leaf litter topping.
