Anything wrong with this kid?

Aside from looking ugly, does it seem like anything is wrong with this hatchling to you? It seems to have a lot of loose wrinkled skin around the neck, but it doesn't seem interested in drinking so I don't think it's dehydrated. Sorry the pics aren't great, but hopefully you can tell what I'm talking about.

This was the last clutch I hatched and neither of them seemed to have the loose skin present in the one above, which is why I'm a little concerned:

Thanks for letting me know. I was kind of worried when I first saw it since it looks more...shriveled for lack of a better word than the last clutch I hatched (which was the first leo clutch for me). I guess it'll start looking a lot better after its first shed.

I've hatched a couple like this also. They both came out of the giant Raptor male and an Aptor het Raptor female--when the eggs were incubated hot--like 88-89.(I have no idea if incubation temp had anything to do with it?) They otherwise seem "normal" and healthy, they just have 'extra' skin. But, I decided to mark them as pet only, anyway...
