General Care Discussion :: Snapping noise

[Phx99]

My turtle used to live with another one, and we separated them (gave one away) due to fighting. Now he opens his mouth a lot, and it makes a clicking noise. Is this a normal sound? He does it all the time, seems to be healthy, but it's weird he started doing that when he started living solo.

Penelope was doing that for a while at night...every time I would go to look, she would stop - don't know if it's the same thing you are hearing. When Penelope did it, it was like she was snapping her beak.
At first I thought she was doing it because she couldn't breathe well, but her RI cleared up and she still does it every now and then.
I'm curious too.

I don't think it happens often, so it might just be a phase. Keep an eye out for any other symptoms.
