Veiled casque question

[Sparky93]

Just curious as I love when they have huge casque, is it genetics or does diet/uvb play a big role in casque size? I know the females don’t get as big, I have a 10 month old male, wondering what I can do to foster maximum casque size ? Also is there an age it develops more? His dad had a mega casque his is what I would guess to be average for his size

Hello and welcome!!!

@Beman you know about male veileds, do you know?

Hey there, casque size is genetic. But just because you see a sire with a huge casque this does not guarantee that all males from that sire will have one as well. Because you have the females genes as well to account for and what her lineage was. Of course the healthier they are and the more on point husbandry is will allow for them to achieve their full potential.
