There are so many varieties, Id have a hard time choosing just one - good thing I dont have to choose LOL!<BR/><BR/><B>Ces</B> Daub's nose is very rough, it does look like its peeling, but its just acquiring texture and will turn a darker brown too. <BR/>Im not sure of the hows and whys, but it means that she is a girl and nearly fully mature. <BR/>When she is fully mature it will be a darker brown and very flaky or rough looking. <BR/>During her life it will change quite alot, with it being darker and flaky-er when she is 'receptive', and pale and smoother when she isnt! (I think I put that pretty delicately, tehehe!)<BR/>Thanks for asking Ces!Lavenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00837170932026113619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4704229933093060803.post-29155817861683201752007-09-30T23:07:00.000+10:002007-09-30T23:07:00.000+10:00What's up with Daub's nose?
