Head bobbing

[Mean Guy]

I have noticed Ted head bobbing and the bottom of his throat expanding in and out like a frog. Is this normal? He is not acting like he is under stress. he is active and feeding well. It is time for a soak, so could it be he is expecting it?

He's just breathing.

My two Russians do that all the time. Someone told me they are sniffing the air as they breathe. I like to think they are flirting with me.

We joke that our tort says yes to everything because he always bobs his head up and down, not side to side! hehe Yes, completely normal. You will usually see it a bit more with stress, but other times just randomly.
