Have you found it initially was all spots before transforming into stripes? The reason i ask is alot will change as they turn into adults and what not.

The striping pattern and head looks similar to that of a L340 but the same could be said for a L316. Or youhave the L147 which develops stripes on the back haldf of the body and maintains spots on the front half.

What did you buy it as?
