Thanks, I am hoping most of the spots turn white on the male and I am still not sure how the female will turn out. She still has a long way to go so maybe some of the pattern will lighten up. I am just glad they have darkened up from when I first got them. They were kind of ugly when I first got them but they sure are change for the better. I agree too that leo or BD's mixed with pearls make some pretty nice hybrids that come out with all kinds of patterns.
