Split Belly Scales
This little girl is kept on Repti-Bark, with absolutely nothing sharp in the enclosure. This is the lower 1/3 of her body, approximately, and she has just gone into shed. Any ideas?

Re: Split Belly Scales
Thanks, Shaun.
Does it look different than what we've determined to be the belly button in this photo?

re your picture
above the thin brown line,there are scales that sit further apart,above that,there is a pearlecent type look to some of the scales...
if yours does NOT have,what looks like a pearlecent look and the scale appears flat underneath the pearlecent part,then imo it's NOT cleft scutes mate
sorry for the crap description mate
cheers shaun

Re: Split Belly Scales
So THAT's what that is. I noticed it on my BP and assumed he had somehow cut his scales...
