Leucistic freckles

[miniwaterdragon]

I'm guessing freckles in a leucistic are slightly influenced by its environment. What do you guys think?

I had my leucistic on black sand for 6 months-she had freckles on her face
I then put her in a tank with bare glass bottom for 4 months and the freckles seem to have all disappeared from her face
I then put her back into a black sand tank and now her gills had gotten darker like a blueish color within 4 months.

Has anyone else experimented with this? Or is this just a series of coincidences?

I noticed that my axolotl colours would vary slightly depending on the environment they are kept in. Some larvae of other species will also change their colour slightly if they are on dark or light substrate.

I have experienced this as well, not sure if it is because of nutrients in the water or the actual habitat.
