 My yemen Chameleon has a blocked nostril please help...

I have had my yemen/veiled chameleon for a week now she is only 6 weeks old.... but the last 2 days i have noticed a little white thing blocking her nostril and I don’t know what it is....sometimes it hangs out and sometimes it goes inside the nostril i don’t want to wipe it off as i don’t want to hurt her...

Has anyone got any idea what this is??

Thank you! x

has she shed since you have had her? if not do u know the last time she did shed? i have 2 vields and this occurs most times after a shed so you could wipe it off gently.

It’s just a normal excretion of salts/minerals, common in young Veilds. You can wipe off gently with a moist cloth, but generally it will correct itself. As your cham ages, you should see less and less excretion.
