He looks to be about one years old and appears that his growth is a tad stunted. He's about 16-18'' with tail and while his head is large, his body seems a bit undersized for his head. His lower jaw has a little bit of yellow crust that is dried - it looks like there may have been an infection in the past but is now cleared up. His lower jaw is also a little bit undersized and doesn't fit neatly like my other tegus.
His movement seems ok though he doesn't really hold himself off the ground like a perfectly healthy specimen. He does the shuffle, which I've found to be indicative of MBD - something I reversed with my rescued female.
Anyway, any thoughts on the yellowish crust on the lower jaw line or the abnormally large head to body ratio?
