breathing

[tagerlilly18]

Hi guys I was wondering if you ever heard your cham breathe. I was trying to see into his mouth so I had to get him fired up (which I felt so bad doing) and he hissed and everything and he was crawling up my arm and I could hear him breathe out. Is that okay? He seems completely healthy to me. I think he was just rly flipped out

He was probably huffing or hissing. Mine has made a huff like sound if I do something that bothers him.

I was thinking the same thing. I'm sure it wasn't a hiss. Just wanted to double check to make sure he was all good. Thanks!

I've heard mine sneeze once. At least I think it was a sneeze.

My guy huffs quite often when he's annoyed. It's quickly expelling air through the nostrils.

If it only happens when he seems annoyed or stressed out it's fine/normal. However, if you start hearing audible breathing all the time or in non-stress situations it can be a sign of respiratory infection. Just FYI.
