Too much calcium ?

[sallyb]

I wonder if anyone can help please ? Gizzy (11 weeks old now) is in very bad mood and dark green in colour. She is opening her mouth when we go in her tank with food or mister. She also keeps climbing to the top of her greenery and going dark green. I have checked her over for anything obvious and can see that when she breaaths her right nostril (cannot see left at moment) seems to be blocked with white substance when she breaths in it disappears.

I have attached some photos, i`m sorry they are not great, but her little nostril is so tiny it`s hard to get a good shot. Could you tell me what you think please ?

Yes could easily just be she is extreting extra supplements from nostril. hows the airflow in her tank? When she opens her mouth at you, do you see anything unusual or thick siliva, wheezing or gaping going on?
"Mood" change could be any of a hundred things, including perfectly normal behaviour. Check temps, airflow, humidity, etc

Her mouth seems fine and other than the dark colours etc she seems fine. She has been venting/ gaping a lot which is slightly unusual for her. I`ll check everything again. She has now been out and fell asleep having her veil tickled.

You said..."She also keeps climbing to the top of her greenery and going dark green"...what is the temperature in the basking area?

What supplements do you use and how often? What do you gutload the insects with? What color are the urates (white part of what comes out of her)?
