Mine only had a few spots going down her back. And of course the white belly spots which are starting to fade nicely . I'm sure as yours ages it'll start loosing most, if not all of them. Here's a pic of mine when she still had spotting on her back.

Yes some will have some white spots that usually disappear as the snake grows larger.

Wow! That's a wicked looking Mex Beardonicus! Our neonate King likes to musk everytime Inivictus or I get him out. The adult on the other hand happens to find Invictus tasty.

If you're lucky, your snake will lose all his/her spotting. My girl had only two spots of white under her chin, but now she's a solid jet black. I love the shine on mex blacks.

Congrats on acquiring him/her.
