They do huff occasionally, an adult anery I had used to huff at me if I was annoying him (usually chasing him about with food lol)

well if its snorting, like clearing his nose then thats all it should be. but if he start weezing then i would ring round this vets again im sure you will find one that has an interest in reptiles x

a RI was the first thing i thought of but i thought they only happened in a moist enviroment? the only moisture in the viv is the water bowl and thats placed pretty far away from the heat mat. vets in my area seem pretty useless tbh i tryed getting my 2 yearlings sexed and every vet i phoned said they'd have to 'read into it' so i never bothered phoning back

Some times if aspen get in their nose or if they have had a bad shed.

It could also be a sign of a RI, I would keep an eye and if it continues pop him to the vet for a check up xxx
