Sound like a URI to me..... There should not be any mucus bubbling out of your lizards noses..... Try taking your animals to the vet and heating them properly..... Sounds like a case of bad husbandry to me......

i agree, your leopard gecko should never be doing that. it seems likely it's a respiratory infection or something. take it to the vet right away & get a second thermometer to double-check temps.
