Question
My Crested got away from me about two weeks ago and I just found him, before he got lose he was in good health and I always checked for signs of being unhealthy. Now that he is back, checking his vents, I have noticed they are cloudy, almost look like they have a mucus bubble. Any way to help my poor guy??

Answer
Hello Faye,

Is there any way you could post a picture of that for me?  It sounds like it could hormonal discharge possibly?  A lot of the adult males tend to get build up waxy type of substances coming out of their pores.  A picture would be helpful.  

Is he eating normally right now?  
I am glad that you found him after 2 weeks!  He must have been cold!
