Thanks seen the photos and now understand what they are. I was a little worried at first. Thought maybe they had broken man pieces

This is the 3rd hatchling so far to show this (several more eggs to hatch yet) so there could be more...T.T.



Another from her 1st clutch of the season, displaying genetic? extra/split scutes

well that makes them unique!!!! and special
