Is this a problem...

[Jerambis]

My 3 month old Nosy Be looks to have a booger coming out of his left nostril, is this normal? His right one looks fine but the left has some sort of greyish stuff barely coming out of it.

Is it dry / crusty? More whitish-gray?
What vits/cal are you giving and how often?
Were crickets dusted today?

 

[Jerambis]

It looks like a dry/crusty and whitish-grey. I did not dust the crickets today. He gets phosphorus free Rep-Cal with Calcium and Vitamin D on Tuesdays and Fridays, Herptivite on Mondays and Thursdays, and Miner-All 0 on Wednesdays and Saturdays. He is about 3 months old and gets about 8 small crickets a day.

I don't think you should worry.
Maybe reduce the vitamins (not the calcium) to twice a month.
Chameleons excrete excess salts and minerals from their nasal passages.
Give him a good misting and he'll scrape it off himself.
This was happening to me a lot until I adjusted the frequency of vitamins.

Ok great, thank you for the help.

It went away pretty quickly. It was there for about one day. Guess he had a runny nose.

brad was probably right, but did you get that dusting scedule from liddy kammer(its a good one)?

 

[Jerambis]

Ya that is Liddy's schedule.
