In Reply to: Nose Impaction posted by TJK8RB on April 30, 2003 at 17:13:25:
I have seen this only once in a monitor and it had an upper respiratory infection. The dirt would stick to the mucous and clog his nose, when the URI was cured the dirt was no longer in his nose.
I have 27 monitors, all of them on dirt and that is the only one that ever had a problem.
Good Luck
:I just recently converted my young water monitors substrate from cypress mulch to soil, seeing as most people here are big advocates of it. The only problem is the soil is getting caught in his nose and clogging it up. I think it causeing him to have trouble breathing. I spray the soil down to keep it moist, but it doesn't help. My question is that is this harmful to him, or am I worrying too much. I usually just end up soaking him and then get the dirt out. Is there any way of preventing this? If so, what can I do?
:Thanks for the help,
