I've had my beardie for about a month now got him from pet supermarket, he's never been a big eater but did he three or four crickets a day here and there up until about 2 weeks ago when he all the sudden stopped wanting to eat well maybe eat one cricket a day maybe two, and it looks like he has dry skin in his nose every time he breathes I can see it puff out and then he inhales and it gets sucked in but his little nose holes are so small that I can't get it out even with tweezers I've tried the dull side of a pen but I don't want to hurt him by sticking it in his nose so I was trying to get to the area that possibly was sticking out but it doesn't seem like any is on the outside it's only on the inside, it's causing him trouble breathing he keeps doing this weird thing where he blows up almost his belly and his beard and then opens his mouth, he's lost his appetite he doesn't move around much, I have his repty son t8 lamp posted inside his enclosure along with 100 watt Exo Terra heat light, his basking spot hot spot is 110 and goes down from there meaning other areas are about 95 other areas about 100 but the hottest point where he basks is 110, humidity is usually always between 35 and 45 usually about 38, I don't know what else to do I don't know what I'm doing wrong with this poor little guy has not really had a good start, I also just got a leopard gecko from a breeder and that little baby came with a great appetite eats about 5 to 6 crickets or worms about twice a day, is already getting used to being handled and seems to be doing extremely well but on the other hand my son's beardy is not doing so good, and we really really love him like part of the family it's breaking my heart to see him possibly suffer, and I want to help him so I'm reaching out to you guys before I make an appointment for a vet I figured I would try one last shot and see if anybody had any advice before I go ahead and just pay the 140 and take him to a vet.. I just don't want to take him to the vet and be told there's nothing that can be done and waste of money so if anybody has any helpful encouraging advice please please I'm welcoming comments.. thank you very much for you guys this time I hope everybody has a blessed day, I'm also going to try to submit a video of what his nose keeps doing.. and also as an update I just got home from work his nose is still clogged and now it seems like his right eye if you're looking at him his right eye is closed because it seems to be bothering him it's really watery, I just don't know what to do what does poor little guy it seems one thing after another and I want to help him
