: No it's not normal.
: It could be a sign of over heating.

: If sulcatas get too hot they froth at the mouth.
: Check the temperatures, make sure there is plenty of shade ALWAYS available.

: And never put the tortoise outdoors in a tank, Rubbermaid or similar type of thing, that is enclosed and heats up to unbearable temperatures.

: I think that the tort got too hot and overheated.
: Not good.

: Check your husbandry and make changes to ensure it doesn't happen again.

: I hope you found him in time, let him cool down and hopefuly the frothing will stop.

: Only other thing I can think of is that it ate something toxic.
: But believe, he/she probably overheated.
: Terry.
