It means they are aware that you are touching them, and letting you know they are a bit afraid and don't want to get eaten/stepped on/ect.

oh,when blueys huff,i thought u meant when your partner starts huffing when u want just one more lizard,lol

normally huffing is first sign of not wanting to be harrassed,natural instinct,some then go on to threat display or bite attempts,alot just huff or hiss,its quite natural,in time it usually mellows when your animals become accustomed to you
