If there is discharge then it could be but alot of young tegus end up snezzing alot becuase they are active... meaning they kick up alot of dust and that gets in haled. A few sneezes are fine every now and then. If its something that keeps going on and the eyes dont look as bright, the color is pale or worse there is discharge from the mouth or nose and whezzing then get him to a vet ASAP.

Did he just had something to drink or took a bath and put his head under water ? Is the mulch maybe to dry and he was breathing in some dust ? Put his face next to your ear and try to listen to some clicking noise or wheezing ( sorry if I didn't spell it right ). If you can't hear anything then he should be fine. But still keep a eye on him.
