For a while I have been wondering about a strange white patch of belly scales. This 8 month old Radix has had this from birth. None of her other siblings has it but her mother "Spot" has a bleached out area on her back. Have any of you seen anything like this before? This little one is normal in every other way. Sheds come off clean and as you can see she's growing up very well. Could it just be the same genetic issue the mother has? What do you think. Thanks for your input.

if her mother has a light patch too, I wonder whether it's a genetic thing, like that piebald gene
