The spots fade quickly as they grow. Here's a photo of one of the one-year olds I took to show how they are growing so smoothly. This one is right at 1200g. The babies hatch at 65g-85g.

Woops. I got the burmese stars mistaked for radiated tortoises. (I was starting to question if it was a radiated when i looked at it more. But i guess its a star.)
