Are you claiming it has a calcium deficiency because water came out its nose? I'm unsure of the connection you are making...

Lizards, unlike mammals, do not have a secondary palate and therefore if they drink too much or are disturbed while drinking, can easily discharge water from their nose.

If there is some reason to believe your animal is sick, it should be taken to an appropriately experienced veterinarian for diagnosis.
