White discharge from nostrils? help...

dekaybrown Mar 05, 2008 02:15 PM

Our green anole "Crystal" suddenly seems to have a white discharge coming from her nose.

The tank is a 10 gallon, kept at 82 during the day, and 70 at night.

We were using the expensive zoo med lamp, it failed... so I bought a cheap replacement for now.. Only about a week, causing me to doubt lack of UVB as the problem, but I am only guessing here.

For now I am going to tear down her tank, scrub / sanitize and re-do the whole thing with Eco earth coconut bedding.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated...Thank you

Does it end up looking like a little white bump that is dry? If so, it's normal. That's how they get rid of excess salt.
