Very cool!

Those split scutes remind me one of my orange cherries, Mimosa. Only your baby has them "flipped" relative to Mim's scutes.
Looks like an owl face to me:

Okay you got me drooling over the split scute one! There is just something I find completely irresistable about those unique patterned fellows.
