Indigo Scar- Where's the beef???

I am finding that the famous indigo scar is a mystery to some breeders. One they have not seen one or it is better not know the difference. An umbilical scar only involves one or two scales . If it involves more scales then it is not an umbilical scar. It is an genetic defect ; probably due to inbreeding. If you have a pic of an umbilical scar please post it . There are indigos that do not have any scars. And good breeders that are breeding good animals. I am afraid that the mighty dollar is driving this problem. If it has scales that are split beyond the two. Then that inbreed indigo should be disclosed as having this genetic problem and sold accordingly. It should not be sold as a flawless indigo and should be sold at 30-50 % less than the current market value. These split scales do not heal . Thanks, Stan
