Making weird hiccups? (Video included)

I always offer Gamma (my teen male dragon) water from the sink since he doesn't understand stagnant water. Sometimes he takes a drink and today he did. Now he seems to be sucking in air randomly and making noise. He spit up a little bit. His beard is black. His whole body just seems to be hiccuping and it sounds like choking? Is it possible the water went down the wrong tube? If so will this clear up? I am worried about my baby.

I am uploading a video of it.

False alarm I think. Weird noises have stopped and Gamma seems rather happy. Sorry about that.

Glad to hear he is better. You might want to offer water with a dropper. Drip it on his nose. The water would be less likely to go down his windpipe then, which would greatly reduce the risk of respiratory infection.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
