i noticed a few times that my male albino seems to sometimes snort? he did it a few times yesterday when i was taking a photo of him, is this normal? you know like cartoon bulls, when theyre about to charge they do that snorty thing it sounds like that

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

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
