It's a large tortoise table. He's usually out more than basking. He'll either chill in a small hide or he loves snuggles with my hubby and myself. But the slight gasping only happens with me.
We need a lot more info to help.
Pic of tort and enclosure will help.
Then we need to know the following.
Temps. Basking? All over? Night?
Size of tort?
Age of tort?
Size of enclosure?
Substrate?
Diet?
Humidity?
Soakings?
