Hi everyone!

I've noticed sometimes if my 2yr old Marginated Tortoise will open his mouth slightly, poke his tongue out slightly and the best way I can explain it is he sounds as if he's gasping. Any ideas?

Give us a run down of everything you do to care for him
Enclosure size?
All Temps?
Humidity?
Size and age of tort?
Diet?
How often you give soaks?

Sounds like either a normal yawn, or the onset of a respiratory infection. Answers to Barb's questions will help us determine which.
