My 17 month old makes very faint puffing noises when I take him out of his viv. I usually scoop him up gently and slowly put him on my shoulder or under my chin for a quick sec while I'm closing back up his tank. In this position, he's close to my ear and I can hear him making this small popping or puff sound. He only does it once or twice at a time. He's been doing it for months. At first I assumed I was hearing things, now I'm positive he's doing it as some kind of a greeting or warning or complaint........no, I'm not squeezing him! - lol.
I also noticed that he "tells" me when he wants to eat or drink. He does this by staring at me until he catches my eye, then when I'm looking right at him, he'll slightly open and shut his mouth very quickly once or twice. I react to this by immediately taking him out of his viv and giving him water or food. Dose anybody know if this is typical communication or not?.......or am I just projecting?
