Hello tortoise forum! Long time no see. Recently I was giving my Tort a soak, but then she started opening her mouth and heavily breathing. Then she proceeding to yawn and make a sound similar to steam being released, I don’t know how to describe this. Is this something I should worry about?

I doubt it. She probably had something going on at the other end. . . gas?. . . urine?. . .just some sort of straining. You said 'she' but males do this in the water when the let their penis out.
