Check this kingsnake ad out...beautiful tortoise..regardless of its deformity. http://market.kingsnake.com/detail.php?cat=50&de=841471

It does look good, my guess is that it didn't last 5 minutes on there. Did anyone here get her?

 

[Edna]

Amazing how the growth of the other scutes compensates for those that don't seem to be growing, so that her outline has a normal appearance.

it was sold already

I can't see it! What was it?

It's on kingsnake now. I have a leopard around the same size with similar scutes that have just started to grow in the appropriate fashion once again. $125 shipped - I think it's a fantastic buy.

The question is, can it breed with those deformities? And how much problems is it going to have down the line. $125 is a good price, but who knows how much you'll spend on vet bills as it grows and more issues arise.

Good question. Who knows. It is from an experienced breeder though. If I wanted another babcocki, I think I'd get this one. Mine is very similar, and I believe that by the time she's an adult, her shell will be pretty much normal looking.

I thought the same thing, Edna.

That's so odd, anyone know what would cause that kind of growth/non-growth?
