Reptile & Amphibian Forums

we have to females an one male we just recently got the females from before christmas and the last one was juust about three weeks ago and the big feamle started sqeaking and then the male started making popping noises I read at the sulcata station that they are sick when they do that, whats wrong

any signs of respiratory distress-- runny/bubbly nostrils, gasping/gaping mouth, lots of yawning? if so, take 'em to the vet a.s.a.p., as a respiratory infection can be fatal and can develop into pneumonia. mine had an upper respiratory infection and an antibiotic injection plus extra warmth fixed him up.

otherwise, if they seem really healthy, i've gathered here on the forums that some torts do make little noises/vocalizations. mine chirps occasionally, and i assume he's normal.

they do all of that to well take them to the vet

How did you come into possession of three large tortoises like
that, did you buy them? They'd have to be at least 12 inches
long minimum to sex them. Otherwise it's just a guess, no
matter what someone told you. Hopefully they'll get better.

well one of them were think is female its just a baby but the other one is 31/2 years old and were positive its a female and the male is about six years old ald all of them except the female came from lll reptile and the female came from a little reptile shop called strickly reptile

When do they make these sounds? Some of my tortoises and boxes make popping/squeaking sounds when they're feeding, each time they close their mouth.

we took them to the vet all of them had upper respertory and they are being treated
