Interesting that there was some inbreeding involved. It reminds me of, and I forget the technical name for it, the condition where ancestral traits that are hidden in the genome are re-expressed. Such as when human babies are born with tails. This would mean the ancient ancestors of what became F. pardalis had a single rostral process that was lost by natural selection. It just needed the right combination of genes from closely related animals to be re-expressed.

Another reason why, no matter how attractive your cousin is, to keep your hands in your own pants.

On a more serious note, I'd like to see more photos, and Im going to have to actually sit down to figure out this little ones paresnts relation to each other...

If I understand correctly the father was the result of an F1 breeding between clutchmates. The father first fathered a clutch with a WC female. One of the daughters from this clutch was raised. Then the father sired the clutch, of which this horned baby is a part of, with one of his daughters from the earlier clutch. So, brother and sister produce a male who later mates with his own daughter?

Maykel, I agree. It does look like a bony horn. PLEASE please please keep us updated. Can't wait to see what it does. Good luck!

Time for a Family tree diagram...

You interpreting it as something else or don't understand?

Just trying to put it into better perspective...
