There was an article on Dumeril's that explained this. IT is thought as something as a result of inbreeding due to the limited ORIGINAL gene pool of Dumeril's in captivity. No effect other than the color of those scales though.

In the article it shows a picture of a wild caught Dumerils with the same spot under the chin. It was the conclusion of the author that this it not the result of inbreeding since Dumerils are found this way in the wild.
