[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

When they're tiny, they have stripes, not spots. The spots fade in gradually and aren't really well-noticed after each shed. The stripes first start fading and you can see black spots in there, then the other areas that didn't have the black stripes start to get the spots. That's with most leopard geckos. Some leopard geckos just don't have the spots.

I might want to get a mack snow (is white / pale yellow with black spots) or black pearl leopard gecko (almost completely black). Right now I have a normal leopard gecko, but is more of a dirty yellow / tan. The natural coloration of wild leopard geckos is tan, but the captive bred ones are normally vibrant yellow.
