Probably being over worried but we notice from time to time that our Panther makes a small snorting noise (not the angry hiss) you can only hear it if he is sat on you but its like a small sneeze or a little out breath of air. Normal?

I hear my veiled make a noise like this sometimes.

When my big male Veiled is just a tiny bit aggravated, he lets out these little puffs to let us know.

I sometimes hear a noise when my male veiled is shooting for a cricket, like a little exhaust sound.

Probably the blow off valve for that turbo charger inside that tounge.

And here I thought my veilds were passing gas! LOL

I think they are getting rid of the waste from calcium and minerals through their noses. Guess thats why they are sneezing ? or am i wrong?

I would second Julirs thoughts. I have heard and seen ours do it when they are upset. For instance, if I have occasion to hand mist or to hand feed a cham (normally our misting is automatic but sometimes needs to be supplemented, and food is usually free ranged in their cage). Some will take it for a bit and then put out a tiny huff to let me know they've had enough. Are you sure he likes sitting on you/being handled? Maybe he's just letting you know he's had enough and it's time to go back to his own territory?
