So i had chameleons a lon time ago and they eventually died because of a light ishue (they were my babies and id rather not talk about it:( but im pretty sure it was mbd.)

But thats not the ishue, the female (i had one male and one female baby housed together at the time) but the female would get a dry, white buildup around her nostrils, i know this is a sign of sickness but it didnt look like any pictures i could find at the time, and not alot built up, every few weeks id just run a qtip over it and itd come right off. Im certain it wasnt from shedding. She was 2 through 4ish months while i was having this ishue. I dont think it wouldve clogged up her nose but i didnt want to risk it.
Was it normal? Was it from soemthing else? Was it an early sign of MBD? o_O
 
It's normal. It's nasal salts and just their body's way of removing minerals from their system
Oh, so was i doing the right think by cleaning it off? She was friendly and it didnt stress her out. Thank you for youre help (y) now that i know what is i can research it. :D
