Sneezing?

Can tortoises sneeze? What causes it?
Today I heard my sulcata misty sneeze twice, within 5 minutes, is this normal?
Thanks

Yes tortoises sneeze. It's usually a sign of the substrate being too dry and the dust causing irritation. What substrate do you use?

I use cypress mulch, but just last night I turned it all up and soaked it all so just the top layer wasn't moist

They sneeze from time to time...sometimes it is triggered by dust, lodged food, dry air...a variety of reasons....
