That's another point: split scute hatchlings and their value. I always assume that an animal with EXTRA scutes or split scutes has been incubated at a higher temperature and is more likely to be a female. However, I often see split scute animals being sold for less than than "normal" hatchlings even though they seem to be more valuable to me because the gender is more likely known.
