You might want to go ahead and warm her up if you haven’t already. Whistling is usually a good indicator of the equivalent of a human cold. This can quickly become more serious. You probably do not want to wait until you see mucus or lack of appetite; because then you may need an expensive vet bill and antibiotics. Make sure she is getting plenty of Vit A, C, and a nutritous stable diet. Check for cool drafts around the enclosure and give her a little extra basking time. I have this occur frequently in the early spring with several different species. Larger turtles are easier to diagnose. Scott
