Water shooting out of nose?!

[peridot]

Quick question! My tort usually bubbles water out of his nose after drinking during his soak. But, today, a lot of water shot out, like a little water gun. It almost looked like it came out of his mouth, too??

I have never seen anything like that before! Should I be concerned?

The tortoise nostrils go from his face to the roof of his mouth. . . not down into his lungs.

So, its ok if it shot out hard? And I don’t need to worry if some came out of his mouth too?

No. Perfectly normal.
