    Hatchling Belly Deformity?

    Anyone ever seen anything like this? This girl hatched out on 7/10/2010. Was only a 2 egg clutch that had issues from the get go. 2 eggs were infertile and 2 were stuck in the mom and eventually passed. Both hatchlings absorbed their entire yolk.

    Was attempting to feed her today and when she struck and missed I noticed something on her stomach because she partially flipped over she struck so hard. This is the first time I've noticed it on her.

    She has yet to eat anything (same for her other clutch mate) but she otherwise seems to be perfectly fine. The flesh in between the scales is not raw, it almost looks like regular skin.

    Also worth noting, though it could be due to her current state of aggressiveness from the mouse that was just removed from her tub, but her entire back end is completely concave.

    She seems ok overall, but this is obviously a cause for concern.
