So, I was originally planning on making this thread to share Curtis’s cool lookin’ scutes. However, I noticed some odd things about them.
There is one scute on the right side of his shell that seems to be causing pain or discomfort when I run my nail along the slightly pyramided part at the top of the scute. Upon further examination, I realized that there seemed to be a bit of a gap.
I’d noticed before that the pyramided part was hanging over the rest of the scute a bit, but I didn’t think much of it.
I haven’t checked too many of the other scutes, but he doesn’t seem to react too much with any of the others.
Does anyone see his scutes causing problems as he grows?
Also, does pyramiding work the same with split or extra scutes as it does with normal ones, with the bone underneath lifting? Does it lift in different spots? How does that work?
