Rikkoshaye:
Interesting! Any indication as to whether it was or wasn't skin that he was going to shed? Did he have any other lighter patches?
Rayson:
I'm not sure. I didn't notice it before. I also didn't notice his white throat patch at first. (Perhaps I wasn't very observant; he did hide quite a lot for the first month or so after I got him.)
The throat patch and arm patches haven't changed/disappeared at all since I noticed them. Perhaps the back is a different case, and it is indeed skin he will shed (sounds pretty reasonable to me, though I might be secretly wishing he ends up with stripes...haha). We'll see I guess.
Upon inspection of older pictures, it would appear the limb "stripes" have always been there. However, his throat patch seems to have become more defined. But I think the skin on his underside was still not as opaque then as there is some red on one photo I have that shows his belly.
For direct comparison: (attached) The older picture might have been slightly washed out by the flash. But I do think he was somewhat lighter there when he was younger.
He was around 3" when I got him. Now he is 5".
