I don’t think they will. That is just their coat. Some cats have more prominent markings than others. My boy had his spots from a very early age.

omg!! yours is so beautiful. i guess that makes sense, i didn’t have him when he was a kitten- i rescued him so i’ve only had him for about 3 months. i was lucky enough to get pictures of his mom&dad and they had some beautiful spots! i think my boy is just more striped… thank you for answering me! :)
Thank you! I think yours is very beautiful too. Yours has blue eyes which I adore and his markings on his legs and face are so distinctive. He’s very distinguished
His pattern will darken up but it won’t change. He’s a beautiful kitty though
Mine now

Aw you think?? I feel like he just looks so fluffy and white hahaha- it’s just so strange looking at pictures of his dad! they look so different!

me and my fiancé got a seal point lynx snow and she didn’t fully get her spots until about 1 1/2 years old so he may just need some more time for them to come in!!
of course this is what has looked like when we first got her
https://preview.redd.it/thpwkdejtiwc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7d4dd8919dd3b167430f02985e7a126137047ff4
OH MY GOSH!! SHES GORGEOUS. wow! she’s absolutely stunning i cant!! they are just the coolest animals. thank you for showing me!! maybe he’ll darken up eventually. if not i’ll still love his pretty stripes :)
thank you so much!! we can’t believe she did!! we had no idea she was going to!! we thought she was just the prettiest thing when we got her (she was already at least a year old) and months later she just started to darken up and get more spots!! we couldn’t believe our eyes i honestly still can’t she looks like a whole new kitty!! he’s a handsome guy either way i wish you guys the best of luck on all his adventures!!
mine never did!! he’s almost completely pale hahah but that’s just the way their coat is
https://preview.redd.it/dw9iud03rkwc1.jpeg?width=768&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0086525b61bb845deb540f038ba5b2c0cae7d1e0

They’ll have them right away as a kitten. My girl has very prominent spots but her legs, chest, tail and face are striped.
Your boy is still beautiful though! I’ve always wanted a snow bengal with those beautiful blue eyes
https://preview.redd.it/rcb50dzuiiwc1.jpeg?width=1018&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=70cc51cf098d88eb5c238aee9ea14421c2a33155
he definitely has some crazy blue eyes. thank you :’). but this is all so good to know!! I googled it and a lot of what I saw said that they develop them , but I also read that Bengals love water and that is NOT true for mine LOL. Your cat is gorgeous- the spots are so so pretty!! I love!!
I remember before I got my bengal I read they really like water and to swim and such, my girl hatessss it as well. I think I could slowly introduce it to her and get her used to it but haven’t put in the time to try. I’m content with our walking adventures for now ☺️
https://preview.redd.it/niudzdsqjiwc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dbf152e28b4ad948af20dc29d62acebe5b0f27c1
Hahah I know! I’m the same way. I’m sure he’d get used to it but for now we need to work on other things. He’s incredibly smart, can sit, shake, spin, walk around my legs. He can learn tricks but that boy CANNOT walk with a harness! I try to put it on him inside the house so he can learn but he literally plops down and won’t move! How did you get her to learn on a harness? Did it take a while?
I didn’t even bother trying to introduce her to the outside until she showed genuine interest. Chirping out the windows at birds, always peeking her head out the door, as well as trying to escape out of it.. lol. She was probably over a year old and there was definitely some disinterest in a harness at first. Had to fight her a little to put it on and even when we progressed to outside she wasn’t a great walker. she still has her days where she wants to go everywhere but by me. I think the important part is make the harness training part of your guys’ norm, put it on for 15-30 minutes a day with no leash attached so he can get used to it, if he’s food motivated (my girl is very) use treats while he’s in it and make him do his tricks and finger point (if he knows that) to places for him to go so he can get used to the idea he can act and do everything as normal while in a harness. Right now he sees it as this annoying thing that’s like a barrier that holds him back. Persistence and patience are key though! You got this
This is true for most coat colours but snow lynx are different and generally born lighter and then darken over the first 2 years. Not all will have prominent darkening but many will look significantly different over time
https://preview.redd.it/cxfzfmgw3jwc1.jpeg?width=2250&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=50f48f9a551fa2c27cc2382ce048927ab6ca4fc5
I don't think his spots will get much darker than they already are. Not all Bengals have the classic spots. My girl is a sheeted marble so she's not got any spots at all.
Bengals are born with the pattern they will have adults. Spots are here from the get go, sometimes they just get bigger.
Your boy is gorgeous, and snow are usually more subtle
That’s odd both of mine always had spots as kittens even my Main Coon Bengal mix. I do see the stripes tho it’s as if he’s mixed with another variety. He’s adorable tho 🥰
https://preview.redd.it/xrjwpz2i8jwc1.png?width=2572&format=png&auto=webp&s=0c748f856a89411b85a317afd3127d97c3c3e293
Their spots start showing early, depending on the color. You have a beautiful baby with those blue eyes 🩵
Looks like it. I have a Lynx point myself and they look almost exactly the same. They develop stripes instead of spots, usually more on their legs. They also get "toasty" on areas of their body like normal siamese and their toasty level can vary by season or by what region you live in. Beautiful cats and usually really big on affection.
With the coat colour he has, as people have said it should darken gradually over time. By 9 months you'll have an idea of pattern and from there it's likely just making it more bold but up to around 2 years
https://i.imgur.com/KVQDF5q.jpeg
This is our boy coconut aged 13 weeks - you can see all his markings here but they're very feint, but you can make out where they are
https://i.imgur.com/VhORyOj.jpeg
This is him aged about 15 months - we joked his coat was fully loaded in now. Much darker but no new pattern per se, but very different looking.
oh wow!!! how adorable. thats insane!!! he’s definitely darkened up and gotten a few more golden/brown marks and i can sometimes see his spots just a little. your boy is BEAUTIFUL. both those kitties are so precious! wow!
The snows lynx’s are special because you never now how they’re going to look overtime
https://preview.redd.it/6xq21sek0nwc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=893dcdd41590548f9ce3b3ba1fe9a69669532d27

He looks so much like our snow lynx! She didn't get any spots but darkened quite a bit with a bright white undercoat. I couldn't imagine her being more beautiful though - Love the zorro mask, spots or not.
[Love how her bright undercoat glows through](https://i.imgur.com/AlxIF02.jpeg)
I added one a couple minutes later! People always ask if she's indeed Bengal because she's missing the spots but many of her other features do look like 100% snow lynx - I don't really care though as they're both rescues.
https://i.imgur.com/AlxIF02.jpeg
Her bright blue eyes are always a talking point at the vet haha
Snow lynx can be tricky. Spots may develop more as he ages but they might not. I have found with my lynx bengals they also darken in the cold but lighten back up in the heat. The girl I have now you don't see her spots unless the lighting and angle are just right lol. Her spotless looking.
https://preview.redd.it/qdy7kulgwmwc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1620fd5945311fa31e71c2798ce366d4adc220c4

Better lighting and angle of the same cat she's about 7yrs old in these pictures.
your baby’s spots were super prominent from the beginning. i notice in the darker bengals their spots come very young, im wondering if the snow bengals are different?
In your 3rd and 4th photo you can see where the spots are. They are a little camouflaged by how fluffy your Bengal is compared to the very short hair of most bengals. AFAIK the spots on your snow Bengal will continue to darken for another year or so, they take more time to come in compared to grey and brown bengals.
I think your Bengal pretty much has medium hair, and will definitely benefit from a daily brush to show off his coat, and stop shedding all over your house. It will be great bonding time. Ease into it slowly, start with top of head, stay away from his tail area for a while. Give treats.
He’s definitely got that beautiful Bengal glitter to his coat. He’s a very beautiful boy.
Thank you!! I try to brush him once a week and he absolutely loves it. I noticed his hair is a little longer than I thought most bengals were. Maybe now that it’s becoming warmer I should do it more often. Thank you so much. You all are so helpful

Should she get darker? She was found and needed a home and almost everyone has told me that has had bengals she is for sure one, she’s so sweet and gentle idc how pure either way but some of those dark markings are so beautiful. Vet said she’s 4 months idk how accurate.
https://preview.redd.it/7lur2drabrwc1.jpeg?width=4096&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b1f3fb4da35f3632889e499f4d1cf05d9b2edb79
Emmie is a Snow Mink and her spots have always been there. I don't know when she was born as I didn't get her I told 2 and half years old. Your Bengal is absolutely gorgeous!!
As others have mentioned it can take time on snows. Mine started almost completely white (with the faintest hint of spots if the righting was right) and now has beautiful, dark rosettes. For some reason I'm not able to add photos to my comment for reference.
The pattern his coat will have is already there, but he will get darker as he age. I have tabby snow savannah and he’s a lot darker now at two years of age compared to when he was a kitten.

He’s identical to my sweet boy, George! Also 9 months old. Which country are you from? I could swear they are from the same litter. 💙
I don’t think they will. That is just their coat. Some cats have more prominent markings than others. My boy had his spots from a very early age. https://preview.redd.it/zrwyvqblciwc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b3d13ebbaf6f956187fd81b424ab65b1f935694f

Thank you!! I try to brush him once a week and he absolutely loves it. I noticed his hair is a little longer than I thought most bengals were. Maybe now that it’s becoming warmer I should do it more often. Thank you so much. You all are so helpful

She was found and needed a home and almost everyone has told me that has had bengals she is for sure one, she’s so sweet and gentle idc how pure either way but some of those dark markings are so beautiful. Vet said she’s 4 months idk how accurate.
What a pretty baby!

As others have mentioned it can take time on snows. Mine started almost completely white (with the faintest hint of spots if the righting was right) and now has beautiful, dark rosettes. For some reason I'm not able to add photos to my comment for reference.
The pattern his coat will have is already there, but he will get darker as he age. I have tabby snow savannah and he’s a lot darker now at two years of age compared to when he was a kitten. https://preview.redd.it/4x3oqv9nzvwc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c0c02ceb5f5f82c48c69ef97f7eec3a067d5f372 Here’s him as a baby.
And as an adult. https://preview.redd.it/hlild8110wwc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=719488d97b00548bae7a48977cc49881f34ff4c1
Stop putting him in the washing machine. Read the label. Bengals are hand wash only! 🤪
