I call that "marbling". It happens as they grow.

That marbling is the hallmark of this breed. It makes random spots as it grows.

Yay new shell growth! That means you're letting it Grow up ... Congrats... It will smooth out eventually or fill in with color. My Leopard Savannah's bumps come & go. When ever I think a shell is 'funky' I weigh them to see if it indeed it growth or what not... =-]
