When I feel the tip of his nose it's not wet..the white stuff is dry..it peels off like dried skin..:shrugs::shrugs:

Right now with no job I have no money at all to take him to a vet..I'm looking online right now for something that might help him..I"m hoping someone here will be familiar with this kind of thing..
 
Okay I think everything is okay...I found this pieice of info on the link I provided below..Hopefully they are right...

Salt Excretion: Many new uro owners often ask "what is the white stuff around my uros nose?" This is simply excess salt being excreted by the body, similar to that seen in iguanas. This is not a problem, so do not be alarmed.

Here is the link I got the info from..it's towards the bottom: http://www.kingsnake.com/uromastyx/urocaresheet.html
 
It looks like shed to me...E-mail the pic to Lindsey Pike! You have his phone number, too.
 
hehe The first time my Uro had that I freaked out too! But as you read, it isnt much of anything :) When I seen it after that I just rubbed it off :)

Your Uro is so cute! I really love those little guys.... so easy to care for too :)
