White crust on nose?

[Veild Cham Owner]

Recently i have noticed that my 3 month old cham has been having this white crust coming out of his nose, it will only appear when he eats a dusted cricket. Is this normal?

Dried calcium from accumulation in nasal passages snorted out?

It's salts and NOT calcium that they get rid of through the nose....so do not think that you should cut out or decrease calcium.

As kinyounga indicated veileds frequently expel excess salts from their body through/ out their nose. Mine does this frequently.

I'm not talking about water with salts in it.... I'm wondering if the calcium powder is snorted out through his nose.....

 

[kinyonga]

I didn't even mention water. Calcium is not snorted out the nose....its salts of other minerals.

Your cam has a problem and needs to go to rehab the white stuff is cocaine

Now why would the cham snorting out the calcium thru his nose??

Why do humans spout out milk through their nose?

Nasal passages are connected to the mouth in a manner that MIGHT allow over dusted feeders to cake the sinus or trachea walls.

And what kind of human being loves to over dust the calcium for their cham??did u actually test out the white crust on ur cham's nose which u probably over dust the calcium and watching them snorting out those white crust? Or its the results like @JGuinan007 saying being high in your imagination ???

That's just weird!

It is very weird for comparison on the white crust with the calcium like the booger made with milk,Not.

 

[alphakenc]

And since the booger is not cause by the milk,and I will say the white crust is not cause by the Calcium,Say no more!!

I believe the poster you are talking about is comparing it to when you accidentally shoot liquid out your nose. Like when you are drinking something and laugh, and the fluid is forced out through your nose.

I still think the white crust is most likely salts, though.

So this is completely normal?

In the wild that's there way of retaining water and getting rid of the salt! What kind of water is he drinking? If its tap water like you drink you could switch to distilled water without all the minerals & heavy metals!
