I have hatched 12 hermanns in past few months (thanks to great advice received from this forum!- thanks!)...
Of interest, 4 of them have abnormal scutes.
These first two, were incubated at 75% humidity and 31.5'C:
1. Abnormal posterior central scute:
2. Extra costal scutes on both sides:
So I turned the temps back to 30'C:
3. Missing central scute and abnormal shaped costal scute:
4. Missing/fused central scute:
They are all from different mothers. (Only God knows fathers) none of the parents have abnormal scutes.
I think they are super cute, and they are doing great. Healthy as all the other hatchlings!
I was eager to share these pics and was wondering...
Are there any long term health concerns?
Any ideas why this would be occurring?
I look forward to any comments....
Thanks!
