Hello Laura,

I can see nothing unnormal or a reason to be worried about your Clyde from the pictures.
He looks healthy in my eyes.

Why would you think he was sick? Nothing on your pics stands out to me? Is he acting sick?

Judging health from photos is not easily done nor really advisable. We can't say if that is a healthy tortoise or not by looking at a picture.

If you think he may be ill, probably be a good idea to take him for a checkup at a good reptile vet.

Is there any discharge from his nose? And what are the day and nightime temps inside his "tortie house"? My babies often make sounds, breathing and others. Sometimes they kinda "whistle" and when i get them under good light in their bath for thei coco oil rub/slash/check up, I often see some dried up food particles dried up on a side of the face partially covering one nostril. Get a good light and take a good look during a bath when things are wet and soft. Try to look inside the mouth too
