Hi, first time posting here - but just wanted to see if anyone might have some advice. Our marginated tort Herb has been what appears to be wheezing for about 6-8 weeks now. She doesn't seem out of the ordinary and is eating and moving around a normal amount. Considering we live in Gloucestershire UK - she spends most of her time in a 4x2ft viv with a UV strip which is set to roughly 36 degrees celcius at the warm end. She's fed mostly organic leafy greens from the local market and weeds from the garden (I don't use any pesticides out there) and her water/food is refreshed daily. I also sprinkle Nutrobal on her food every few days. We have put her out on an enclosed area of the lawn when the temperature outside gets above 23 degrees and the sun is out, - but unfortunately there haven't been many days like that so far this year. Shes 4 and half years old and weighs just over 1kg. Hopefully that provides enough info on her diet/environment etc? She's running around on the floor next to me now and I can hear a faint wheezing from where I'm sitting. It's starting to become a bit concerning. Can anyone help with what might be causing it and what I could do to help her? I've been misting her viv every few days in case it's getting too dry in there, but it doesn't seem to be helping.
Many thanks,
-Nate
