My leopard tortoise (about 8 months old) started squeaking. I tried to move her, I recently changed her enclosure to a bigger one, and I was trying to move her to adjust something and she squealed. I always pick her up gently and she never makes any noise. I put her up to my face again and she squeaked again. Like a whistle. I am wondering if there is any way I can tell if she has a respiratory infection? She is 8 months old and weighs about 5.5 oz, the first night she was in the new enclosure (3 days ago), her moss was cold and not warm enough. The new enclosure is wooden and I couldn't transfer her mat since her other tank was glass. I am thinking maybe that one cold night, she could've gotten sick? Is there any way to tell? And any sort of heater that could work for wood? The one side of the enclosure has no glass, its dark with a wooden top for "sleeping" but its cold in there and the heat lamp cant penetrate. Any advice is helpful.
