Hello, I have two sulcata's they are both under a year, but the one is almost a year old and he has sneezed here and there. I have occasionally seen smalls bubbles from the nose, but his health is great! He eats great, very active, gets soaked, sleeps on a set scheduled, good amount of day and night, bigger of a set up now, but I don't exactly know why he sneezes. I have noticed that when the temperature is like 90 degrees in the tank that I do not here him sneeze. Sometimes though, when I take him out to soak I here him sneeze in the water. He sneezed a lot particularly one day, but keeping it hot seems to help? Nothing about him has changed other than that? Should I be concerned?

if bubbles are regularly coming out of his nose he's not in good health he's probably got a respiratory infection. Keeping them warm helps but is not a cure-all you probably need to take that one to a vet.

Are they living together?

What are your four temps? Warm side, cool side, basking area and overnight low?

What heating and lighting equipment are you using to maintain these temps?

How about a pic of the enclosure?
