he's probably dehydrated. does it look like a clump of salt around his nostril? if so give him plenty of water and make sure you see him drink. you said he seems to be eating and drinking, but its better you are certain.

yes "salt" does describe that, i did see him drink yesterday
but i will up the misting, thank you much

how long is the misting periods going for? If you use a spray bottle, you might want to use a mister. I read that they shoukd be misted for at least 30 minutes straight everyday, I don't know how often though...
