    Here is a good article about RTI.
    But if you question a RTI, go to the vet, better safe then sorry

    Quote from the article--
    "Bottom line If you see the signs of respiratory infection, and it is not related to being handled too soon after eating or drinking, get your reptile to a reptile vet now -delays will result in a weaker reptile, and depending on why the RTI was allowed to set in to begin with, may prolong recovery and stress."

    Does he do it when you are holding him?

    Does he do it when you are not holding him?

    Is he exhibiting any other symptoms?

    Maixx is right if you think it maybe RI have the vet check. and then the obvious check humidity and temps make sure they are correct.
