Turtles snore, just like dogs, humans, and other pets. T<\/strong>he fact that they breathe through their cheeks, where there are many soft tissues, produces a snoring sound while sleeping. Although you might confuse the sound with illness, vets recommend checking for other signs like crying, mucus discharge, or difficulty breathing. Otherwise, it is very typical for turtles to snore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Snoring in turtles becomes more evident when they come closer to the aquarium walls. Owners might not hear the snoring if their pet is deeper into the tank. However, the soft tissues in the airway vibrate as the air goes in and out of the cheeks. Snoring in younger turtles is not as loud as in adult turtles, so don’t expect to hear snoring sounds from them. <\/p>\n\n\n\nWhy do turtles snore?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n
