My rescued golden crocodile I've had in rehab for months developed a massive lump. I had no clue what was going on. A leaf emerged from the bump. I finally had time this morning to investigate. Pulling away the sheath layers uncovered at least 5 other leaves, stuck, tangled, and messed up inside. Poor thing was even trying to push out aerial roots. It's now "free" to start to growing into a beautiful philo. 😍
