I was always intrigued by the knowledge that turtles can make various noises. Until now, the only sounds I've heard my ~6month old box turtle make are the occasional 'quack' while eating and farts. Well, this morning he/she seemingly ate a slug wrong (must've gone down the wrong hole) and this was the result:
I gave him a soak afterwards, he dunked his head a few times and it seemed to clear up. Still keeping a closer eye on him today, but seems fine now - I even gave him a couple more slugs a few minutes ago because he was throwing a hunger tantrum, they were eaten without further incident.
