Hey
I have a bunch of het. scaleless babies this year and one gets a very strange nose - i think there no nostrils anymore... please help me
she gets out of her egg very normal.. she's the best feeder from this clutch and her nose became very strange next to the last shed. she can sneeze, there must be nostrils anywhere but i can't see it anymore.
first pic out from egg, then after second shed and then a few picture from today
thank you a lot !

The last pic looks like stuck shed. The 2nd and 3rd to last look like possible scale rot or a wound healing from nose rub. I'd try a triple or double antibiotic ointment with no pain killer (whatever's available there) and dab a very small amount on the nose. Hopefully it is just stuck shed and she'll rub it off if you keep the nose moist. You could also wet your pointer finger and thumb, hold her head, and again very gently see if you can remove the stuck skin.
Good luck :)

Daddio you're my hero :)
I cleaned the nose with warm water and 'rubber' a bit - so now an old skin is off
