grey casque and possibly blocked nose

[Caryss]

hi my male veiled chameleon’s casque has been grey looking for a while. i’m also concerned one of his nostrils looks kinda blocked but it could just be shed.

I think other parts of his body look good. I think his casque and nostril area are going through a shed.

Huh…his casque is still pale. Since it hasn’t changed in any way to indicate any problem or something like shedding, that just may be part of his natural coloration. Honestly, I don’t know what else to tell you. My male veileds have always kept me guessing when it came/comes to natural coloration.
I can’t see what may be going on with his nose, but I am going to suspect it may be snalt.

Your chameleon looks normal. The nostril crust is most probably snalt.

Is Snalt salt secretions?

Do you have a picture of before it was grey in contrast? Did you see the parents, or any siblings? Is it possible he might have a pie mutation?

Edit to add, just looking at your post from March. I think your little man likely has the pie gene.
