Yucky nose

[Spiffy0710]

is it normal for a chameleon to excrete clear fluid out of the nostrils after eating crickets??? My baby constantly has salt excretation almost daily but it's odd that his nose gets juicy after eating bugs.

Does he make popping noises when he breaths, and does he have excess mucus in his mouth, and keep his mouth open a lot if so he could have a repertory infection.

No, he breaths fine.

I've never seen mine do this, but if he is breathing fine I would think it's okay in my opinion.

I do see him take deep breaths when I'm formula feeding him (he had mbd) but the fluid only comes out after eating a bug.

Be careful when formula feeding that you don't get it in its lungs.

That's impossible to tell when ur doing it.

If you don't stuff the chameleon's mouth and only give it a little at a time you will give the chameleon a chance to control what's in its mouth. It just takes patience.
