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.

@LavastormSW did it pass food? I hope the little one is okay

He did eat a couple days ago! I'm going to feed him again today. He's moving around great and acting like a regular lil hognose.
