I take it you didn't check with the shop to find out where they came from?

Given the patterning, especially the striped caudal, it'd say . Statistically, this is more likely too.

No mat it was a customer who brought them in. He had originally bought them from that shop but it was 6 years ago. They just had them labelled as 'leopard plec' with no L number. They aren't the most knowledgeable to be honest.
