Is my Uromastyx lizard fine if she has a lot of snalt build-up?

I have been noticing a lot of snalt build-up on my lizard’s nose. It’s so bad that it’s gotten to the point that it covers her nostrils! I have heard that reducing potassium in her diet would help. The only thing she will really eat is Romaine lettuce, and that is very rich in potassium. Is there any other way that I could help her without injuring her in anyway?

Use a wet q-tip or cloth and wipe off her nostrils. The crusty build up is normal, usually they rub it off themselves. I would start offering her new things just to expand her diet, they are supposed to eat a variety of foods. They can be picky but they won’t starve themselves. Try peas and carrots, mustard greens, kale, or even cactus if you can find it.
