Can a scar be passed through birth?

Notice the scar on Lillie's back. now the defect in Rex's spikes?? they are both in the same spot.. Rex is her son

If its a scar from a injury or somthing that won't be passed down but if its a deformity it could possibly passed down, not 100% positive about the deformity being passd down but correct me if I'm wrong

Don't take this wrong but I was hoping for a more experienced keeper like kent or Chris to chime in.

Monopoly is 100% correct in what he said.

A more polite way to say this would have been "thanks for your help! Does anyone else want to chime in?"

But it's a scar.. Looks like a bite mark. Here is a better pic.

Sorry I wasn't trying to be rude I didn't mean anything by it.

Then Rex has his own scar of different origin. Scars are not passed on genetically because the scar is the result of damage to the tissues from an injury, not a genetic or structural flaw. If it was a genetic defect rather than a scar then that has the potential to be passed on, but unlikely imo.

It's not a scar on him though just deformed spikes.

Monopoly is right, a scar is not something that gets passed down through the generations. If this were true I would have the same dog bite scar on my calf as my dad.

If they look like two different injuries then that's probably what they are, just two separate injuries with a lot of coincidental placement.

Thanks it's not worrying me just intreged me. It's just weird

Basic biology, scars can not be passed through genetics. Not attacking, but I would re-evaluate my husbandry and setups. When you notice a pattern, there's usually a cause.

It can only be passed down to offspring if the parent was born with the deformity. Trust me I know.

Excellent question!

Yes, the scar can be passed down. However in order for this to happen, the parent must have an extreme complex about said scar. She has likely been teased for it for a long time prior to conceiving. The mind is powerful enough to rewrite the animals DNA, and add in the scar. When the offspring are born, the parent no longer feels as though it is the sole bearer of this physical defect, thereby improving the parents mood, which helps with further courting. Youll learn about this in biology next year when you reach the fourth grade...

Dont even get me started...I could talk for hours about nuclear gasoline...

Thanks for all of the replies. So they make nuclear gasoline? I'm a blond by the way

If I ever have a question that seems a bit silly or even dumb, I usually google it first. Public forums are sometimes not the best place to show you ignorance. Some people find it entertaining to take a shot at another persons ignorance (thats why that Honey boo boo crap is so popular). Scars are superficial and not genetic. Be careful and research your questions before you post. good luck and lose the im a blonde excuse. Take Care.

...and a good sport as well

Everyone gets ribbed a bit from time to time

Nuclear gasoline would be useless...but possible to make...as far as I know, there is no current manufacturer...
