She isn't expelling air through her nose or her mouth...she is expelling it out of the other end sometimes like a whoopi cushion.

I have had torts for 33 years and never heard a tortoise "fart" but believe me I have now.


I know what the hissing , expelling air noise sounds like and it wasn,t that noise.

Although it was expensive i am please it was nothing sinister.

I have four Leopards and only Elvis does it............ I had a spur thigh for 23 years (until she was stolen) and i never heard her do it.

She is very very gassy!

Was the tortoise stretching it's neck out and gaping its mouth when making the hissing noise?

Although this really made me giggle, I am glad it's nothing bad, one of mine apparently did a very loud fart the other day, my youngest son came running into me shouting and laughing , Sammy the old Herman had done a loud fart while doing a wee!!!!!

No when i filmed her she was sleeping and making the noises. There is no movement from her at all.

Everything else about her is normal, eating drinking pooing peeing etc
