Can you send us a picture. If it is what I think it is, no big deal. Chams can’t sweat so they release the mineral crystals through a gland at the nose. But if you send us a pic much smarter people than me will confirm it.
Sry bout that. It’s almkst like a string. Dry almost.
More like a crystal
What’s RI. Well it’s only in one nose, so idk. Kinda almost like foam. But also at the end looks like a piece of fuz

Crystal would be okay. “Stringy almost dry” was concerning. Like I said, fill out the form and the pros will be with you shortly. Good luck! I hope all is well and I’m excited to see what they say.

Ok, thanks
Hi there... Your cham looks young. Better pictures tomorrow will help identify gender and approximate age. Also it will be helpful if you post pics of the entire cage lights down.
With your calcium does it say with D3?
You will want to be feeding more then 3-4 crickets. A younger cham can take down 12-15 feeders each day. Are you feeding daily?
Need to be gutloading feeders with better options. I will post a helpful graphic or you can by cricket crack or repashy bug burger.
The lighting on the top of your cage is it a double dome fixture with a screw in uvb bulb?
Basking temp should not be hotter then 85 degrees. You will want to drop your basking branch down. 4 inches down is a risk for thermal burns as well.
Are you using distilled water?
It could be an RI or it could be that you are over supplementing depending on what you are using. It could also be from the tap water if you are using tap water.

More then likely it is under 6 months old. Which means it should have 10-12 a day. calcium without D3 is fine on nearly every dusting as long as you are lightly dusting them. You do not want them to look like powdered donuts.
Ok, they kinda did.
