I'm just curious does anyone here ever hear their turtle sneeze? The past two days I've heard him sneeze a few times, once underwater (which caused a big air bubble to emerge, kind of amusing actually). I just want to make sure it's normal and there is nothing wrong with him. Thanks

It's not unusual. As long as there are no other symptoms (bubbles from nose or mouth, open mouth breathing, excessive basking, puffy eyes) then it's nothing to worry about.

ok now i'm kinda worried lol. I saw a bubble on his nose today, I'm not sure how puffed his eyes are (I'll look closer tomorrow morning) and how much do you consider "excesive" basking, because he basks a lot.

My guys have been basking alot too, but I've read something about it and season changes.

Sorry I should have been more specific. Bubbles from the nose or mouth are ok underwater. If you notice it on land it would be like snot bubbles (for lack of a better word), almost like his nose is running. Puffy eyes would be obvious because he'd have a hard time opening them, and what I mean by excessive basking is if the basking dock is the only place he hangs out (not swimming much except to get food). Sounds like your turt is fine.

Ok yeah, his eyes aren't puffy and there's no bubbles above water. Thanks for your help guys!
