Skink Burps?

Postby Graniteer » Tue Feb 19, 2008 8:20 pm

I don't know if this has been talked about before, so here goes. Smoot just burped. Really, really loudly. I thought my fish tank filter had hit an air bubble, it was wicked loud. Has this happened to anyone else? Cause for concern? No barf, just burp.

Might have been, I don't know what a retch would have sounded like as opposed to a burp. I just turned the lights off for the night, Smoot looked up, then burped/retched, then went back to laying down. Weird.

Chomper whistles..lol I don't know why or how. It's almost everytime he breathes. Took him to the vet near the end of december(when I got him) because I thought he had a Resp. Infection. Doc said no resp. but that he was breathing wierd and put him on Baytril for 10 days...that was fun. And ever since then he whistles. Don't know if he got meds in his nose(quite possible, he put up a fight) He acts fine now, just a whistler

I'm still getting used to my little one, but he does make a funny "squeal" when he's about to drop a load on or near me. I thought it was his way of giggling in pure delight... at the prospect of my returning "squeal" :lol:

Someone did mention that red grapes could make him gassy, so I've been expecting a little "tooting" from my Tank, but nothing yet. I only gave him ONE grape chopped in his Spot's Stew and dandelion greens mix.

My TQ whistles with every breath...just the way his nostrils are formed I suspect...
