Sorry i havent been around lately, other things going on.

Ok, so...today, just a couple of minutes ago, Bobby did a yawn type thing in the water, thats the 2nd time, the first time was like, a week ago, and he had 2 bubbles come out of his nose, i dont think anythings wrong really, but i kicked up t he temp a little just in case. Any ideas? think i should just see if anything else comes up?

Two yawns in a week isn't that much...but the bubbles from the nose--where they while he was basking/out of the water? I'd up the temps like you did (they are what now?). Is he still eating well? I'd keep him warmer and watch for any other symptoms. No open mouth breathing?

If the bubbles came from his nose when he was out of the water (like snot, to put it bluntly), I'd be more worried. My turts sometimes have bubbles come from their noses when they're under water and they're fine.

Now that the heater's working, see if the warmer temp doesn't help.
