Virgil has made various noises off and on since I got him. I have learned to live with them. He has never even hinted at being ill. When he was a hatchling I annoyed the forum regularly with my concerns. Everyone was patient and helpful. No question should be too silly or embarrassing to ask. If you have seen a vet and the baby seems happy and healthly otherwise I would tend to just watch closely for any adverse changes. It's hard to not worry about them constantly when they're tiny. Keeping the temperature on the warmer side with access to a cool side would always be my first choice. They can cool themselves off if their enclosure is set up properly, but if they're cold with no alternative you'll get in to trouble. If you continue to have concerns, a second opinion to ease your mind is never out of the question. Good luck.
