Chameleon has a stuffed nose

Hi guys I just got a chameleon she is old enough to be carrying eggs. I went in this morning to check on her and she has one stuffed nostril. Looks white and hard kinda. Was in need of some advice thanks.

Don't worry about the white crust around the nostrils. This is how chameleons rid themselves of some of the excess salts. Just keep her hydrated.

So it's in her nostril and she seems to not be able to breath well out of it.

Yes you can hear her breathing and it sounds like a stuffy nose

Get her to open her mouth and check for excess mucous and bubbles, this would indicate an URI. If she has an URI, she would make fairly loud hissing noises trying to clear her air passages, but they wouldn't be at the same frequency as normal breathing. There would be a longer interval between the hisses, and they would be sporatic.

She looks normal in her mouth she was hissing at me cause she is carrying eggs and really doesn't want to be messed with. The only thing I see is the white stuff in her nostril other then that her poop is normal she is eatting and drinking
