Hi Guys,
Thanks for all the kind words!
Gecko Dan, I don't think there are "true symetrical" cyclops's in reptiles are there!!?? Are they more mythical??
To everyone else who thinks he's cool, cheers, cause so do we. True or not, he's still a one eyed cyclops in our books!!
Zac.

They occur in all vertebrate species (have been recorded anecdotally in rat snakes, corn snakes and bearded dragons) and certainly are'nt mythical. Records in reptiles are rare mainly because most don't survive and therefore are discarded and not reported (unlike surviving two headed animals which get plenty of publicity) Cylopia is moderately common in cattle and sheep infected with certain viruses and plant toxicities

Honestly, that one-eyed Beardie is freaky looking - in saying that though, he looks in great shape and is showing AMAZING colours...

Good job, keep us updated on how the little beggar is goes as he grows...

[quote=Bryony;833538]Its all about quality of life and as long as he is not being picked on then he should be given the chance.


Did i say any different? All i said was that it was disturbing and a bit hard to look at.
I think its great that its doing so well given the circumstances and i also applaud Zac for retaining him.

Hello

Hello,

Wow what a trooper he is to have overcome that. So he is the largest of them all, that is really amazing. Great you have given him such an awesome chance in life! He is a cutie pie & a special boy for sure.

I stand corrected on the true cyclops thing.
But he sure is a trooper! And powering on every day! I am not sure of his/her sex just yet, as the funny shaped head throws my judgement of a bit, but if it is infact a girl, I definately have a male from the same clutch with the same colouring to pair it with for the future!
Anyways, thanks for looking at him, and for the mostly nice comments!! lol.
Cheers,'
Zac.

Hi again,
Eladidare, I will keep you in mind, if we ever decide to part with him/her.
Here is a clutch mate of Nicky, definately a male, so hopefully the cyclops is a fem.
This pic show some of the great colours in this clutch of Vitties!!
