I have a citrus trans female with a couple of these "ink spots" on her belly, just below the lateral spikes. It really does look like it was made by a pen.

I'll be interested in what you learn.

Thanks for sharing

Interesting. I took in a rescue last year with those spots. Many on his tail but on his face and other places as well. They look like someone used a magic marker on him. I still have him he is 6 years old.

Very interesting...[ and all of your dragons are beautiful ] I had a black-speckled dragon about 6-7 yrs. ago and sold it as an adult at the Columbus Ohio show..I often thought I should have kept her.

WOW! There is some unique stuff being unlocked with the transluscent morph. I've seen a few black spots, but nothing like that. Very cool! Josh
