PLEASE note that the overgrowth of the crushing pads inside the mouth of large females is NOT calcium, but is the same keratin that makes up the beak. I took my Texas map in for a "plate reduction", courtesy of my animal-loving dentist, and, although he used a scaling tool, he stated that the stuctures were VERY delicate and easily damaged.
