I have already made a comparison pic, could not wit myself LOL
The weird one actually has more scales too, so they are not underdeveloped regular scales I think. The shape is also different. I wish we we were like half a year further to see what they look like then
Of course there is a change it is some fault in development, but two of them in a clutch... at the other hand, the other one that was pipping yesterday died after having poked out his nose, when I got it out it was completely developed, yet it died
It had regular scales though....
The last egg had not even been slit, so I opened it, to find a tiny embryo totally gone wrong, it looked like a half sized, crumpled, mixed up head with a tiny body attached, maybe about an inch long. It was fully colored up but I could not see what the scales looked like.
So this was what happened: the mother laid 9 good looking eggs, two crumpled after a couple of days, one normal hatchling hatched, two 'mini scale' hatchlings hatched but three normal and fully developend hatchlings died after poking out their nose or only slitting the egg, one embryo's development completely went wrong
The circumstanced with the hatchlings that died, might indicate this is a clutch gone wrong indeed but to me it seems so weird that from the three survivors out of 9, two are are the weird ones, and among the ones that did not make it, are most probably no weird ones, except perhaps the tiny, crumpled one... I do so hope that the weird ones are healthy and are a pair so I can test them to see what is going on, without most of the hatchlings not making it
Here are two new photo's of one of the weirdo's, showing the details of the skin a bit better:
