I know that sneezing is a sign of respiratory infection, but I'm not sure if I should be concerned about my plated lizard or not. He sometimes makes a little sneezing noise after he un-burrows himself in the morning, but he never does it unless he's just come out from under his substrate. I've always assumed he's just clearing the powdery part of the substrate from his nostrils. Should I be concerned?

If you're only seeing this when it comes out from under the substrate I'd guess it's just clearing it's nostrils. I wouldn't be overly concerned with it.
