Tortoise gas?

[prokster17]

I have 2 leopard tortoises. .. I just got the second one and now all i hear is gas sounds all day and night. Loud poofs! Like when they tuck in their shell. Should i be worried? They both are eating and seem
Fine otherwise...

All living creatures pass gas (even the ladies).

Purely an urban legend. Women don't pass gas, nor do they partake in any bodily functions in which a man would say "ew".

What you are hearing MIGHT be coming from the other end. When a tortoise pulls into its shell quickly it makes the air in the lungs whoosh out. Sounds like the tortoise is hissing at you. Passing gas usually sounds more like a little motor boat.

Thank God! I'm still under the impression that women don't poop either. No one better ruin that for me!!!

Ok guys. Aren't we getting off subject?

Any digestive system in any animal acts in similar ways. Yes torts pass gas, & blow out air when tucking into shell etc...

Its the sound of her going into the shell, its that poof... But it goes on all night....about a few times an hour. I also have three sulcatas and i sleep near them and none of my other tortoises make this sound. Im sure its my new leopard making it because it started when i got her. Is that normal for the sound to go on all night like that?
