In the top two photos, the baby with Metabolic Bone Disease (or is it syndrome?) is on the left. We call him Bowser (having two kids that were growing up during the 90s and early 21rst century, we have lots of animals named after Pokemon and nintendo characters).
Anyway, MBD Bowser is on the left and I think that was Spotty
on the right. The pics were taken in 7/2002, when they were almost a year old.
The two pics at the bottom are both Bowser.
Anyway, Bowser had the slightly swollen "rubbery" jaw they talk about in MDB. I thought something didn't seem right and I took him out to walk on the pavement and he couldn't lift his plastron up off the pavement. He scooted. He and the other MBD baby had some pyramiding, but there was a "flatness" to their carapace that I didn't see in the others.
