Nostril blocked

[Mrs. Tiggywinkle]

Gladstone seems to have one nostril blocked with white stuff ever since he woke up from brumation. It's not messy or anything but just not a hole he could breathe through, unless there's a tiny tiny airway there. Otherwise he's thriving and THANK YOU THANK YOU for the excellent 10-page article on brumation. I did all the recommendations and he did fine.

After seeing this thread i notice Nef also has a blocked nostril, is this common?

Howdy, Yah, make sure that it is not skin from shedding, when my lizard sheds, she gets skin that blocks the nostril, i just pull it out. So you might want to check that. Hope this helped...

Nef did just shed but I'd be worried about trying to pull something off of him, anyone else have any insight?

Yah, i was scared too, but I knew it was skin. So if you don't know, i wouldn't pull it off either...Good Luck mate

So I'm going to poke something very very small into his nostril . . . .no way, too scary. The only thing small enlough is a NEEDLE! AAAAAHH! Suppose it's not just skin?

Yah, see, i didn't poke anything into the nostril, i would never do that. Mine was skin and i could tell because the skin was curled up all around the nostril. I would never poke anything into a living creature, nor did i say that. I was just trying to help. Sorry for the mix up guys and good luck. Have you tried a Veterinarian yet?
