What did Ozzy just pull out his nostril?!

[Shortie]

I had Ozzy out his viv and he was sitting next to me, his nostril was shedding so he's been scratching at it quite a bit. After a wee while he manages to pull this out his nose! What the hell is this?! Is this normal nose shed or a giant booger?! :shock:

The shape and everything looks like a normal "beardie nose plug" as I call them. I have never had mine have one that is yellowish like yours is though. Not sure if it would vary by beardie or what. But that is definitely what comes out of their nose when they are shedding.

I nearly had a heart attack when he pulled that out! I nearly cried lol! I thought he's just pulled something out a massive bogey! Or an internal organ! Could they breathe out their nose when they shed there? I haven't had him for that long so this is quite new for me lol

as for the yellowness, Ozzy's quite a bright yellow color, dunno what morph that would be... Sandfire? Sunburst? Uch I dunno lol! I'll research it!

 

[Jiffy]

LOL, nope, no internal organs pulled out! :mrgreen:
I think their breathing is definitely changed when those are stuck in there like that. One of my beardies, he definitely breathes differently when he has one. You can see him kind of act like he is blowing his nose, it is pretty cute.

Well thank god for that! I didn't notice Ozzy's breathing change, I did notice that his nostril turned pink before it turned grey and that he was rubbing it against his rock and even on me!! Must've been irritating him for a good week and a half the poor boy! Lol I can imagine a bearidie pulling out a kleenex out of nowhere and blowing his nose!! That's cute !

Hello!

Yes, that is a classic looking nose plug!
The yellowish color is just sometimes caused by it drying out a little bit. They usually can't breathe real well when they are in the nose area, no. Poor things!

Hello

At least I know there's nothing wrong with him now lol! My poor boy! Nose nostril looks all nice and he's all happy now that he's stopped scratching and he's toasting his bum lol!

Thanks for that Jiffy and Drache

Hello,

Great, I am sure that he is happy to have the nose plug out of his nostril! He has to be breathing better now.

That's the other nostril and his lip turining pink now, he's gonna pull another one out in a week or two! At least her got rid of one for now! He's using his hand to scratch his face! It looks like he's facepalming!!!!! Bath time for him I think!
