I agree, I only started this post to try and find the different ways to get a pewter not to have people bashing other breeders because they chose to do things differently. I hadn't even heard of the "platypus nose" until I read some of Albys posts where he said that he was glad he didn't have that problem.
I would like to know if that problem prevents them from eating or causes other issues for the individual snake. Maybe it's just like the "wobble" in spiders where it's an undesireable but not necessarily life threatening genetic anomaly but it's not cause to bash someone else because they don't have that problem.
