    Head shapes do vary and there is no established "best shape" really, as long as the animal is healthy and able to breathe etc I can't say it bothers me.
    Spot on. Some Sub-Saharan babies have HUGE heads out of the egg. Those are the ones that grow to be 5k-7k grams (females) and lay 20+ eggs. So... head shape is nothing. Even babies with really small heads... their heads catch up quickly.
