I've had Victor, my leo, for almost 6 months now. Today I went home to feed him, I gave him some spring mix and mazuri pellets that I soaked in water and broke apart. While he has eating, I poured some water in his water dish, then when it looked like he wasn't chewing anymore I picked him up and put him by the dish to show him he has water. When I picked him up, he shot into his shell and then came out when I set him down. He then starting opening his mouth and then wiping it over and over again. I could see some food in his mouth and I got worried that he was choking. He soon spit up a piece of the food.. then took a drink of water and then walked back to his food to continue eating. I had to leave my house then, but now I'm just worrying about if he does that again. How likely is it for a tortoise to choke on food? Or possibly pass from it? I hope he's okay ):
