I like the irregular scutes, I had a lovely Hermanns baby with missing scutes-he had 11. I named him Jigsaw but sadly he died. I picked him over normal as I like different -perhaps my rebellious streak!
(I like odd plants too-cacti etc,unique things appeal to me)
I know the breeder I buy from will incubate for females(so higher incubation temps) so whether this is due to that or just coincidental I will never know.
I would get irregular scuted tortoises again for sure if I had an opportunity.
Love the photos posted here-very pretty.

Does a irregular scuted male or female pass the trait to offspring?

Here is one and one of my elongated has a split scute as well. As far as these 2 animals, I would not discount the price but I know in general they are discounted even though they are healthy as normal animals

What a beauty!!! It even looked like there's 3 hearts in her shell:)
