2 small dark dots on bottom right and left scutes, and single black dot near the top in middle, overlapping across 2 scutes.

What about the white-ish area under that topmost dot?

Substrate is organic soil and sphagnum moss. Been keeping it moist, but not saturated--- that's why I think this is curious. Perhaps it is just his coloration changing or being accentuated as weeks pass?

I assume the very large dark spot in the middle below white area is from the sack. He's only 2.5 months old.
