My male RES sometimes will open n close its mouth a few times when i let him out of his tank.
It looks as if he is talking.

Why does he respond in this way? Does this act normal? Question

Listen closely, he could be hissing it at you or trying to ward you away. Once he gets used to you it wont happen as much, but sometimes they get a little defensive.
