Does anyone else's salvator monitor make vocalisations?

My baby Salvator can occassionally be heard making a chirping/squawking noise but he's always been hidden under a hide when he's doing it so I can't see what he's up to.

Is this normal?

thanks, Rob

Hi,

Without seeing the animal, it sounds like a respiratory problem.

I've never heard mine do this.

thanks for the replies

I only hear him make the noise very occassionally (once a week - and i've been working from home a lot and sat in the same room as him)

and when i've seen him basking or had him in the bathtub for a swim his breathing had appeared normal, no noises and no bubble sof mucus around his nostrils.

Rob
