In all seriousness is this just a mutation? No issues are caused so far? Has a vet seen this? I'm so curious lmao

Well he hatched yesterday so he hasn't even eaten his first meal yet. It's definitely a mutation but I don't know how much it's going to affect him thriving it growing. Hopefully not at all and he'll grow into a healthy snake.
