That is a sign of a respitory infection. Why did you buy a lizard that was obviously not healthy in the first place?
if it's not already to late to save it, you should quarentine it in a cage with ideal husbandry while you make plans to get it to the vet asap. Hopefully it will continue to feed until you get it to the vet. You did watch it eat before you bought it right?
Good luck,

yeah i agree with paul.. that is a major sign of a respiratory infection. is this the same wd that you were talking about a few posts back..the one that was dark green and the nose was messed up? what do you mean my "messed up" like from snout rubbing, abcesses???? did you buy it's cage mate as well? if so quarantine immead. and when you take the sick one to the vet..please please please take the other wd dragon as well..it is catching.. just like a cold would be for us.. i know it can be exciting getting your first lizard but it is crucial to buy a healthy one.. because it saves undue stress on you and your new pet... i hope all ends well for you and the wd

good luck

that water dragon was the most healthy one they had. why would it have that. could it be possible its not. it stopped doing this iswear, it just did it tht one time. could it of been a sneeze?! or maybe its jsut under the weather since it just got moved. omg this is bad

2 of my wds had RI last summer from poor humidity... i know what it looks like and it probably won't go away without a vet visit.. they should have a check up anyways since you just got them.. try giving something to eat tomorrow.. and make an appt with a herp vet.. they give you meds for you dragon and with the right heat and humidity it should clear up.... sorry . but that it what i think... good luck..

just make sure to raise the humidity a little, keep the wd in a well ventilated area, and raise the basking temp like 5-10 degrees. you do have a uvb bulb right?

it does not have RI what was happening was it was falling asleep in the water and breathign it in. thn getting rid of it threw his nose
