Incubation Defect

This is the Albino that I've posted about a couple times and thought I'd post a pic of the upper & lower jaw from straight on. As you can see it is more pointed than a normal ball and though he doesn't flick his tongue out I do think he uses it as you can see the bottom of the mouth move like he is flicking the tongue out. I believe he gets it to the edge of the jaw line just enough to pick up the information he needs.

He is still a pretty boy even with the slight defect.

Aw, I think he's adorable. :) Has he been eating okay?

Yeah so far hes eating pretty well, but he hasn't been out of the egg long just about a month and a week or two.

Good to hear he's eating... will you be keeping him?

Yeah, Will you be keeping him?

Hes beautiful and also I think animals bred from animals with incubation defects are fine so you could always breed him in the future.

congrats on a cute baby

Awwwwwwww :(

If it definitely was an incubation defect, I too imagine that wouldn't be a problem for breeding... and did I mention he has gorgeous coloring/markings?? :)

Yep keeping him always wanted an albino and got him at a steal!

Oh, for some reason I thought you'd bred him yourself... I'm glad he found a good home with you! :) I've always wanted an albino too, but went the cheaper/longer route with a pair of hets - so it'll be a year or two before I see anything white & yellow, LOL.
