"Patternless" Indonesian BTS (T. gigas gigas)

Many of you have seen these, but I figured what the heck and decided to post them for those that have not seen them.
The photos are of what were described as "Patternless" Indonesian BTS (Tiliaua gigas gigas). While not being totally patternless, they are definitly different, and definitely going in that direction.

Don't indos look like meraukes when they're young?

Gorgeous babies, though.

There is no way to tell just from looking at babies, as baby gigas gigas look the same as Meraukes as babies. The patterns change on each form to end up as we know them to look like as adults.
