General Care Discussion :: Coughed up an air bubble

Taking care of your turtle's overall health.

Turtle coughed up an air bubble this morning. I think maybe she was eating some plants when it happened. She seems totally fine now. She kinda seemed like she was trying to throw it up or something, and was opening her mouth and swiping her claw as though to clear her mouth out.

Any ideas?

It happens occasionally, nothing to worry about.
