One of my spotted sals is very dark and has only faint spots. I wasn't concerned until I saw a picture of her from before I owned her. The first picture is from the day I got her (they're on more suitable substrate now... previous owner kept them in a small plastic box with some decorative stones) and the second one is from before they were mine (they also don't eat mealworms anymore). She's also pretty thin compared to her tankmate but at least appears to be putting on weight. Should I be concerned? Could this be related to some sort of nutritional deficiency/husbandry issue or is it just genetic? They were very picky and sluggish when I first got them but have since improved their appetite.
