I've just bought two new Royals with intention to breed them when they're big enough. This one in the picture is supposed to be the female - Marge - but when i had her out today i noticed these things either side of the vent, having only kept corns, i've never seen them before. They are quite obvious and are hard to the touch,the only thing i can liken them to is cats claws! I was just wondering if they were normal and if so does this mean that Marge should be a Homer??



Thanx in advance
