Enlarged scale on upper lip at the tip.

Hello all! I was beginning to get concerned with Rugby recently. When I got him his mouth was completely even (no under or overbites). After he shed his lips I noticed his top lip at the tip was poking out further than the bottom. Its the tip of his mouth and only one scale that seems to be a bite enlarged for some reason. He doesnt seem affected by it at all, but Im hoping it doesnt grow more.....looks like the nearby scales are getting bigger too. UGH Worried parent thinking the worst.

Any thoughts? IS this normal?

He is a beautiful dragon :love10:

Thats not normal, what kind of UVB are you using and how close can he get to it? How often are you giving calcium?

Rhodney has the same thing. Its just the way he developed.

I know this doesn't help at all but I think it is the cutest thing ever!!

Thanks for the compliments. I hope its just a developmental thing and hopefully he will grow into that lip!

Gail- no worries here...he has everything in tip top shape with the best of the best. Care is not the issue in this case.
