white residue

[aplazbarr]

Hello Everyone,

I hope you can help me out. My cham has a white reidue in the holes that make his nostrils. I have heard him sneeze.The temp at night is cool cause I leave the AC on. Can you guys give me some advise on how to make sure he is healthy. Thanks in advance

Usually oversupplementing. What is your schedule like and what are you using?

Not a big deal. Veilds excrete access minerals through the nose. The white residue is just that.

Has anyone ever seen the discharge actually plug a nostril? I have a baby veiled who having problems with his right eye in particular, today I noticed his nostril looks plugged. There's no mucus or wheezing and he's acting almost normal except for his eyes. He has normal coloration and he's still fat and pooping normally, hopefully this clears up quickly. Any suggestions? There are no reptile vets in my area, I live on a small island in the south of Japan or I would have brought him in already to be on the safe side.

It happens with over supplementation. Just make sure s/he is drinking well to keep the extra stuff moving out of his system. When that happens to mine, I don't supplement for a couple of days.

I found a good way to measure my supplement. I broke off all tines except one on a plastic fork. I dip the tip into the calcium and dust my crickets with that. Doesn't look like much but it works for me and mine.
