Anery and Amel Palmettos. It appears that the Anery types of Palmettos (Charcoal and Anery A) show more (if not all) of their color smudges and flecks as hatchlings, where as the Amel types of Palmettos show few of the color flecks and smudges they will have when they’re mature. Since regular Palmettos have many more visible color flecks when mature, compared to when they were hatchlings, and since red flecks are the ones they gain more of throughout maturity, it makes sense that Amel Palmettos would start out showing so much less color than their non-Amel Palmetto counterparts. Shrugs?
