Black spots on face

[CJ21]

My female has always had a few freckles on her face but lately her face has become darker and she is starting to get them on her body . Her partner who usually has no markings at all has now got some on his face. They are 2 years old and there has been no changes to their up keep and they are eating as normal. Is this something I should worry about?

I have seen in threads here with axy's that have the same thing- but I believe they were just colouration? I'm not sure if in those situations they had it since they were young, or if it appeared later on. If nothing about the tank has changed, perhaps they're just getting some more colour?

It's a natural color , no need to worry about it

My female axie had that but it was only a lol black spot... She had it for a few weeks but then it went away.. It's good to know that this isn't anything serious

I've heard they get more with age! So if you like them, then that would be good news! I, on the other hand, am not fond of my axolotl's freckles.

I've read that this happens when they are on very dark substrate.
