Calcium Deposits?

[shawnr8176]

Ive noticed a small amount of white substrate collecting on the inside of my veiled's nostrils. What could this be? Is it a health concern? And any advice on how to get rid of it? Ive been using filtered tap water for drip and spray...and lightly dusting crickets with alternating essential vitamins, nutrients, and probiotics. Could this be a source? Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!

When my veiled was younger he got white around his nostril, too. It's normal for them to secrete white from their nostril (I think it's calcium). You can easily wipe it off.

Someone else might be able to answer, though, if it happening too much is bad? I'm not actually sure.

Good luck and welcome!

It is excess salts and minerals the cham isn't using or in need of. If you get it a lot cut back on your dusting.

It can also come from your water......especially if you use a water softner. Jann
