I have had a baby Russian tortoise for about one month. He was doing great and few days ago I heard noisy breathing and squeaking coming from him. I am very worried as he lays his head down on the substrate. He is awesome as he will eat from my hand and when I approach his enclosure he will crawl over and extend his head out to me. But, he now extends his head and opens his mouth. Could this be an upper respiratory or something more serious. Thank you for any comments or advice
