Yeah, looks like an Odoe. At least it was a fair price, but I would have asked for a lower price because of his condition. Good luck with him though!
I like him. i won in the long run. i sold a niger cat for $50 that i just bought for $20 so i really only paid $20 for
 
Definitely an odoe nice pickup.
 
whats up with the flaps on his mouth. they hang down. anyone have an idea if it will fix itself?
 
100% Hepsetus Odoe
A few more inches n the color starts popping. A real Monstah!!
The "Flaps" must be damage n assume it should heal over time
Nice pick up :D
 
Hepsetus odoe are suppose to have dermal flaps (the skin flaps your seeing on the sides of it's mouth). They have them both on the upper and lower jaw with the lower ones being more pronounced. So any hopes of it healing over time is no go, they are suppose to have them. It's suppose to help them build their bubble nest. :)
 
id say u still got a decent price on it, my lfs has one a tad smaller for 75 or 80 i think
