Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Gaping can be a sign of overheating and she needs to vent the heat. Run a shallow pool of water in your sink and place her in it to drink. What size crickets have you tried feeding her? If she is under 6 inches you should feed her crickets that are about 1/4" long.
What size mealies are you feeding her and how long is she?

Ok yeah, i check the surface temp on her rock and it was a little high.I moved the lamp up a bit and it seems to be good now.Shes well over six inches.The lady i bought her from said she was already eating 3/4 inch, but I bought a bunch of 1/2 just incase.She seems to ignor them..maybe theyre too small for her.Ill keep feeding them and see if she accept them in a coupple days.As for the mealies, I'd say theyre less than 1/2 inch.Dosent seem to have any problems ingesting them at this point.

Give me a rough estimate of how long you think she is or if you have a ruler then try to measure her.

I would recommend you take a look at http://www.dachiu.com/care/care.html and read it thoroughly. It is very good information that you need to know. Also, at a foot long it should probably be able to eat 3/4 inch crickets. Just make sure that the length of any live food you give it does not exceed the distance between the dragon's eyes.
