Slight clicking noise

[Tortoisegirl97]

Hey,
My horesfield is being quite lazy and he loves to sleep more than anything but i was holding him this morning and every breath he takes makes a tiny clicking noise. He doesn't breathe with his mouth open and he still eats his food. He gets daily soaks too. I keep him in topsoil.

Any ideas if this is normal or if it is really bad?

Thank you

Clicking, chirping, beak grinding and other vocalizations are not unusual..if the tort is business as usual in all other ways I would not become too alarmed..if you google tortois3 mating..or common tortoise sounds you will see some of what I refer to..
