I just got a baby red foot who seems to be very healthy. I noticed however that his head bobs when he breathes. I didn't notice it while I was picking him out but once I got him home. Other than the head bobbing he is in great shape, clear eyes, no discharge, and is eating and going to the bathroom regularly. I just want to make sure that this is normal or else I will bring him to the vet. I have water turtles, snakes, and lizards but this is my first tort! Thanks for your help!
