Hatchling question.....waves on head.
Everytime I have a hatchling they always have cool waves on there heads? Is this normal? I had one hatch the other day and its head markings were VERY defined. Nothing like my previous hatchlings. Does anybody else get this?
Thanks!

I know exactly what you mean. All of my hatchlings have had that same pattern. They've all faded some with age, but its still there. Gives them sort of a Klingon appearance!

Somehow, even with the forehead detail, menacing and intimidating are not adjectives commonly used to describe cresties!
That does leave the door wide open for naming possibilities, though. I'll have to watch a week's worth of reruns for inspiration.

I noticed the same little wavy lines on my crestie's head when she was a baby, but since then, they've disappeared...

Just a hatchling/juvenile pattern that would aid the animals in nature to safely camouflage into leaf little and what not, whereas older, adult animals tend to venture into trees or low-lying shrubbery, and it is unnecessary for adults to have this... The pattern fades as the animal matures seeing as it's merely a survival tactic evolved over time. I'm sure you've all noticed small abberrancies in pattern throughout the length of the animal's body as well. Practically the only "pattern'' that doesn't fade over time would be that seen at the base of the tail. Anyhow, lates.
