[QUOTE="CooperDragon, post: 1723877, member: 76248"] I was watching him bask under his portable a while ago and since he was in pacman face mode I gave his mouth a good inspection. It's really nice to see such a healthy looking mouth after dealing with the awful (and I'm sure very painful) mouth rot Dundee had. I did notice one thing that got me thinking - despite his healthy looking mouth, he is missing the sharp front tooth that Cooper had. Dundee didn't have it because it fell out (I'm guessing) due to his mouth infections. Darwin should have it. I also notice that his lower jaw is slightly misshapen like MBD was starting to set in. I also notice that his teeth look good but are smaller than I'd expect and they are shorter as they move to the front of his mouth. My theory is that his body was reacting to the start of MBD by taking calcium away from developing teeth and going to the rest of his bone development. This caused his teeth to not form fully and his front tooth never grew (it wasn't lost). Not sure if that's a crazy theory but it makes sense in my mind. He has plenty of calcium in his diet and has proper UVB exposure now so it should be stopped in it's tracks now, but I can't help but think we took the poor guy in just in time. [/QUOTE]
