Sunny making grunting sounds

I've mentioned a few times (particularly when people ask if BTS make any sounds) that Sunny grunts and whimpers often when being held. Get a few requests for a demonstration (Russ I think?), and tonight he happened to be doing it a lot, so I grabbed the camera and shot a video....terrible lighting, but you can hear it fairly well.

He's done this ever since we've gotten him, and he's the only one who makes any type of sound....

Sounds to me like when you let air out of a balloon with the nozzle pinched. Thanks for posting that Zach!

Aww! It's too bad all of them aren't more vocal like that. It's sweet. It's almost like he's complaining at you to let him down!
My guess is he probably just has something slightly misaligned in his nasal passage that makes that noise when he pushes air out a certain way. Kinda like a little party favor! lol
Aw, Zach has a little skink party favor!

It does sound strange....it doesn't seem to sound as "wet" in person....
Yeah, mom, I just hold him up at new years and let him squeal away....

No prob!
Like I said earlier I always planned to get a video because people had asked about it in the past, but he just does it every now and again like when I'm putting him away, so camera is never handy. But last night late, it was just me and him hanging out and every time I grabbed him he'd holler out!

But I'm still chuckling at that!
I wish Chuff Chuff would be a big lizardy Squeaky toy! So far, only my evil little White Lined Gecko makes noise, and he squeals like an angry little cat! Its hilarious too.
Zach, someday I would love to hear that in person! Sunny is Funny!

You are welcome anytime!
Lisa, it sounds like a person, but it really is him.
