White thing coming out of nose?

[Klawzor]

Yesterday my bearded dragon had this white thing in his nose. It looks like dead skin but I wanted to check with anyone in case they have seen it before. I also got bigger today and I'll add a picture when he wakes back up (he's sleeping now.) What should I do?

Hi, I know that looks strange but is a completely normal nose shed. Either it will fall out on his own, he will rub it on a log to get it to fall off or you could use a soft toothbrush to help it lift out. Not a good idea to pull it though as it could be attached very deeply near his sinuses.

Let us know how it goes.

Thank you for the response! I had a feeling it was shed. I got him a few days ago and he wasn't shedding, but I put him in the bath two days ago and his tail suddenly shed overnight. Don't know how often the pet store bathed him so that was probably why. I was going to take it out but luckily I checked, because as you said it might hurt him. If it doesn't fall out soon I'll just give him another bath and gently brush it. Thank you again! I'm just overly worried about my little beardie!

Glad to hear it helped. It's easy to always worry about them. He sure is a cutie and looks very healthy.
