I have 2 baby Desert Tortoises about 8 months old and today when I went to clean their tank I noticed one of the babies was sort of gagging. Then when I looked closer I realized he had bubbles coming out of his nose. I have them in a 10 gal glass aquarium on paper towels with a heat lamp and I've had them like that since I got them. I feed mainly Romaine Lettuce and other assorted vegetables and fruits dusted with rep-cal pure calcium.



He was fine yesterday and ate and good and I dont know how he could've got sick.



He is the bigger of the 2 and the one I thought was always the healthiest.



Any advice or tips or anything would be greatly appreciated.



Please forgive me for posting this in the wrong forum but I know that there are smart people who frequent these forums and I'm desperate.
