Every time i pick up my tortoise, he squeaks

Hi, I have a baby sulcata tortoise and when I pick him up after he has relaxed outside,he starts squeaking and moving around. Is he trying to tell me something? HELP!

It usually means that he wants to be let down, unless his shell is soft or he has been acting sickly lately. If they are relaxed they don't like to be disturbed. If they need to be picked up to be moved , do it slowly and gently.Good Luck!
