just wondering how often should I see the expelled salt from my malis nose. seems like its every other day is this normal? There is no salt in his diet so I dont get it. i dont see him sneezing during the day and his tank gets only to 75f at night so I woulndnt assume any kind of respitory problems. I had a iguana that did this alot also so is it normal?

Yep totally normal. Its called snalt, lol. Its a mixture of salt and snot. It can be cleaned off with warm water and a soft rag.

There are various salts naturally in the foods he eats.
Its not as if you salted his food.

is it normal to find it on his nose every morning? My iguana only did it a couple times a week?

That's normal.

LOL! Og I think its mainly restricted to iguana keepers!
You can't call yourself a "real" keeper till you've been snalted!
Preferably in the face!

I had to cover Dizzy's cage with plastic because the snalt was encrusting everything it touched...the carpet is ruined!
