Nose Plug question Please Respond

Triad Oct 03, 2004 08:26 PM

So yesterday I woke up and turned on the lights and Hades was normal.

Less then an hour afterwards I saw a nose plug coming out. Seriously it was half a freakin inch long. Is that normal? Cause his last one was only a couple of centimeters long ( I dont' measure its just an estimate but I did measure the long one).

And when he has nose plugs it really only happens to the right nostrol, he's only had 2 in his left but like 5 in the right.

This normal or what....?

Yeah that's normal.. Sometimes they come out with the surrounding skin, but sometimes the skin around it flakes off and the nose plug is left in the nostril until in comes out. Eventually they fall out on there own.

That's good. I just didn't think it was normal because it was so big.

Everytime he has one the surrounding skin from the nostrol comes out with it so I just grab some tweesers and get it out. Most of the time I know when he has one because he tries to get out of his cage to get my attention so I can pull it out so he can breathe easily again lol.
