My Sulcata is growing fast, but now his forehead bones are protuding - coming out, makes my Sulcata looked very angry and evil. :(

Is this normal for Sulcatas?

I have noticed that sulcatas do tend to have different facial features. Some of them have noses that almost look like cauliflower and others seem to have enlarged facial scales. It just adds character. But if you'll post pictures, we can tell you if he's growing abnormal dragon attachments or if its totally normal!

Mine started having a bit of a lumpy face but when I scratched his little head, he really likes that, about two layers of unshed skin came off those two larger scales above his nostrils. Maybe that's what's going on too.
