Hi, So I have been experiencing this ever since I got my Indian star and its worrying me. So the thing is my star has a weird habit of opening his mouth when his scared (for example when I pick him up) like a way of gasping or something. I thought it was something tortoises do. Today I fed him some pieces of cucumbers and went right in started eating. And suddenly foam started coming out of his mouth and I panicked I thought he was choking and threw away the food and shake him gently. It stopped but his nose started becoming runny. After few minutes he pooped. I am thinking it was RI but I don't have tortoise vets nearby so I don't know what to do. Help.
