Split upper jaw

[Toonooky]

hi, this is Kevin a 3yr old Herman's, he (I think is a he) is eating fine, and shows no sign of distress, but I've noticed the left side of the upper jaw is split, will it grow out or is it a visit to the vet? He eats mostly salad/ lettice/kale from a bowl, he's got a uv/heat lamp on 12hrs a day (standard shop bought enclosure. Any help appreciated.

As it grows out the new growth won't be split. . . that is, unless he continues to put pressure on the lower part on the side and causes stress on the crack. It would be a good idea to take the toe nail clippers and clip little pieces off the edge of the side part so it doesn't touch when he bites his food.

Great, thank you ?
