Hello,
Just wanted to check if this is normal. My desert tortoise is about 7.5 inches long now. He started making this sniffling noise. I know that a breathing whistle can mean signs of respiratory infection, but I don't know if this is really that. He never makes a sound when breathing unless he is deliberately sniffing something.. then he makes this noise. Is this a normal noise for them to make? or should I get him checked out? He is otherwise very healthy. I clean his enclosure out everyday. He eats and poops normal amounts. I feed him a healthy and diverse diet. I don't know if I just never noticed this before or if this is something to get checked out. It won't let me attach the video to show you guys If you want I can upload the video to google drive and send the link??
