I’m about to get a new Hermann Tortoise. The one I’m looking at is a couple years old, but when I’m holding him, he opens his mouth a little while breathing and does it over and over ever few seconds. Almost like when you would taste the air or your tongue to the roof your mouth and open it a bit. Hard to explain. I guess I want to be sure he is ok and not getting a RI. I’ve never seen any tortoise do that. Thoughts? I’ve included a picture. I was a bit worried about pyramiding on the top of the shell. I’d love to get some thoughts.
Thanks in advance
