Is liquid near my bearded dragon's nostril cricket juice or discharge?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

I have a 2 month old bearded dragon. A few days ago I saw a liquid around one nostril while he was eating crickets. The following days I didnt see anything. Today while he was eating I see liquid on the same side. I dont see it coming from the nostril its just there. Idk if the crickets guys are splattering on him or if its his nose. He is acting normal.

Monitor Diesel for more discharge, wheezing, open mouth breathing, lethargy or loss of appetite. It could be cricket "juice" as you say. If it persists or increases though, he may be developing infection and should be examined by an experienced herp veterinarian.
