Hey Brian,
Nice looking hatchlings!
Please elaborate on the deformity. I don't see anything obvious.

Hi Brian

Beautiful animals, they are very powerful.
They look completely normally.

Congratulation, Markus

Sorry I just noticed it can't be seen in the photo. The middle one has a kink/hunch in the neck. It can't turn it's head the other direction. The sibling had a much larger kink in the back which prevented it from leaving the egg/living. You can tell it has a trunkated tail too.

I'll try and take a better picture of it later.

Probably not. What appears to be the problem is the spinal cord takes a turn in the animals neck and then attaches at an angle as opposed to going striaght in. I'm assuming trying to correct it would most likely stop vital info from going between the brain and body. It's eating and growing though. It does not appear to be temperture related though.
