Might be. But is definitely not hissing or huffing. Could be puffing. It is a clicking, crackling sound. Like you press a dry paper to a ball. But it is not with every breath he takes. It is just from time to time in my hands. But even when he is relaxed. Could be old shed in his nostrils too. There are no bubbles or other fluids visible . Are pumping up the temps ok for him for a few days like I did ?
Bumping the temp should be fine.
