Hello everyone.
First time poster here on the site, I have a really odd question.
I have two marginated tortoises both just over 2 years old, A Female named Shelly and a Male named Marble.
Recently, I've started noticing Squeaks from Marble from his nose
I have done a extensive search on google of which all queries would say it's a respiratory infection but nothing seems to add up to lead to it.
The squeak is coming from his nose always on a exhale which is a high whistle, his breathing is nice and strong as always and doesn't show any signs of struggling to breath or gasping with his mouth, there is also been no discharge or change in behaviour.
And the really odd thing is, He doesn't do it all the time but mainly when i am talking to him and giving him attention for example.
As of writing this he is a sleep, No squeaking at all.
When i woke him up a minute ago and was talking to him to he then started and he seems to be in control of it.
I've had him for cuddles also the other day, and similar, situation, He walked close to me and started to squeak on and off in a controlled manner as i talked to him and went to my ear as if to say, Look I'm talking.
I know it sounds crazy and honestly i feel a little crazy, but i feel like he's figured out how to make a sound as a way to try and talk since i've talked to them since i had them at like 2 months old :'3
But yeah, What do you think? Weird huh?
