Hey everybody! Its been ages since I posted here but I'll get to the point. I'm working on a research paper for my growth and metabolism course and am looking into scute abnormalities as a starting point. I saw here a long time ago something about the number of scutes turtles or tortoises (I'm not sure if this was meant for a specific species) being correlated to the incubation temperature.

Does anyone have any knowledge of this? Any photos of examples? Any idea if this abnormality has a specific term? Any idea if the abnormality has consequences in adult animals? Any info is greatly appreciated, again this is only a starting point.

Thanks!
Kerry Smith
