Other Turtle Discussion :: Beak Popping

It's a weird concept, and I am suprised there isn't much or no information about this clicking. In the past I've seen my rio making that sound while basking, but was nipping at his legs at the same time. He hasn't done this for about four months now

I don't think turtle make actual mating calls. I've heard that certain species of tortoise can vocalize while mating, but I don't think turtles to it to attract mates.

So once again Marisa was right.. go figure huh?? She said it was a 'warning' sound or thought so

That wpu;d have been weird if he had been doing a mating call at my husband.
