Different Nose Scale Formation

Postby EricaLikeBurrito » Sun Jan 07, 2018 3:40 pm

I had noticed that my skink's nose scales have a different formation. There seems to be an extra scale in between his nostrils. Messed up scale? Mutation? What do you guys think?

Aww lovely skink!

And pretty interesting; thought would show a comparison to the nose scales on ours - seems to be just one large scale!

So quite possible that's a mutation :D
