Hello everyone.
So ,i have this thing that is giving me a hard time. When i feed my turtle ,water comes out of his nose like a spit. This is happening only when i feed him. Other than that ,his behavior is normal. Eating ,basking ,swimming under water like crazy etc. I havent witnessed anything alse like cough or sneeze or weird sounds. I know my water and bask temp are high (the temp here this period is close to 40 C )but there is nothing i can do to lower them ,let alone stabilize them. Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

Is it just clear water that's squirting out? That's sometimes visible when they are exhaling and just surfaced or just below the water surface.
