I have juvenile crestie- I got them as a tiny baby at a big-box pet store, so I cant be positive about his/her age or sex. I'm going to guess 4 or 5 months.
I have her in a little 10 gallon setup right now, with 50/50 fake and real plants, on an ABV mix substrate. I just finished putting together her permanent home, a fully bio-active 30 gallon that I am letting settle before I move her in. I've been keeping her heat right around 70 F, lights on a proper day/night cycle, and have had her on a schedule of Pangea CGD and alternating with dusted, gut loaded crickets (waiting for my dubias to have babies).
I've had her about 2-3 months now, and have noticed her coat/patterns becoming more pronounced, especially at night when I mist and she fires up. I've also noticed she has been getting more and more of these little black "freckles".
I tried to snap a picture tonight, sorry about the phone camera quality. Is this just a natural part of her pattern coming in, or should I be concerned about these little dark spots?
Thanks in advance!
