I noticed tonight my guy was doing this almost hiccup-y cough. I had him on my bed to walk around and take video in case I need to show the vet. He’s still alert and eating, I’m going to monitor and probably make an appointment with his vet but I’m just curious to know if this is something serious? Thank you in advance!

There do not appear to be documented observations of hiccups in reptiles, amphibians, or birds. Much of what is known about the anatomy of the hiccup reflex comes from the study of pathological hiccups, which can arise as a result of infection or malignancy near the diaphragm, or from lesions in the brain.

So reptiles cannot hiccup; hiccuping is something that can only occur in animals with a diaphragm.

Yes I knew this, I just don’t know how else to describe it. 😭

I would go see a vet- I can see the little jump in the video, but that could be something neurologic. I think having a thorough neuro exam would be helpful to evaluate this, along with a general physical!
