My little buddy Spike is a sulcata almost 8 months old. He lives in a long 20 gallon tank bc he's so small and I let him walk around with supervision for about 2 hours a day, not all at once. His tank has an open wire mesh top and he has 4 bulbs: an All Living Things brand CHE 150 watts which is on all the time, an Exo Terra infrared basking spot 50 watts, an Exo Terra intense basking spot 75 watts, and a 13 watt Exo Terra desert reptile UVB 150. His substrate is zoomed forest floor. He eats greens and Flunker's tortoise diet , with occasional organic sugar snap peas or butternut squash which are his favorite for desert. he has a little pool all the time and a house which I made him.
I am worried because he just "sneezed" like 5 times. When he does this he makes squeaky noises and pulls himself into his shell and blows lots of air out of his nose. His nostrils look clear.
I love spikey and I don't want anything to happen to him. I take him to the odd pet vet but I don't want to take him if you guys think he's ok because it's far away and I can't drive and it's expensive and I'm a broke student.
Any help is appreciated
