Hey guys,
This is my first post in the forum! I have a yearling marginated tortoise named Sherman, he has recently been whistling occasionally when he is walking and basking. He is in a 3x2 wooden tortoise enclosure with a basking area ranging from 85 to 90 degrees F and an ambient area ranging from 72-78 degrees F. Also his humidity typically is around 50-75% but can drop to 30% at certain parts of the day. He has shown no other signs of a URI it is just the whistle coming from his nares. Should I try to get an appointment at a veterinarian clinic (during this whole COVID crisis), or should I just monitor him for further symptoms? thanks in advance you guys!
