I have noticed that my Red Nigerian Uro has obtained a sort of white crusty film around his nostrils but not in them. It comes of easily and is about the consistency of a salt build up. Is it possible that his diet has too much salt? He usually gets a mixture of Kale and Romaine along with a supplement of Alfalfa pellets and small amounts of mixed fruits.

I know they can be prone to Pneumonia if the humidity is so high but its generally stays around 20% is that still to high? Could this be a symptom of the disease.

Much obliged for your help,
Talfs
