"i can't answer your question specifically but i've also noticed this in lines of "leucistic" southern pines that have been line/inbred. i think it's a species or genus specific issue. oddly enough, i've been line breeding my jasper corns that were orginally collected back in the early 80's. i only keep a few (ever try selling normal corn babies?) and unfortunately have line/inbred them because i wanted to keep them locale specific. the scalation of the baby corns look absolutely normal but the babies are now less robust and come out smaller. i finally gave in and decided to outbreed them to some of abbott's older okeetee stock."


I have an adult male Lucy Pine that I'll have to check for this now too. Here is a snap of my yearling E. Indigo's tail end. Looks like he has the split scales you were talking about yeah? (He has a kink below his vent)

The very existence of flamethrowers means that sometime, somewhere, someone said to themselves..."You know, I really want to set those people over there on fire...but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."
