Could lots of things or nothing. Diet may be great but if the temps are not hot enough the food doesnt do anything and the nutrients dont get absorbed. Im not saying your temps are off. MBD?
maybe/ I would doubt it though. It could be from constant bumping, rubbing, cage size. Could be genetics and you have no control over it. It could be none of the above. Having his blood worked up would rule out nutrition, providing you can find a vet familiar with cyclura. My cornuta had a slight overbite and his brother, kept by another keeper, had it too.
