That's what you said when I brought this up in the last Humid Hide chat a few months back

Then I tried to explain it to everyone, the consensus was that I was full of crap LOL Then I linked some pics from different breeders which I thought showed this defect quite prominently, people argued that they were perfectly normal looking with no defects

The best way i can describe it on the ones I've seen is, it looks alot like snake the has developed a lump on the end of its nose due to abcess from rubbing too much etc (which obviously they haven't at birth).. Maybe some of the experts can describe it better

Now I finally have a quotable to prove that there was this one time when I wasnt full of crap LOL

Interestingly, some eight-balls are hatched with enlarged snouts or raised bumps on the tops of their noses, cosmetically an undesirable trait.
