Question about development and tails

Ok so my RAPTOR and SS are both in their juvi stages now, not an adult but not a hatchling anymore.

I cannot take a pic until tomorrow cause my camera hates the dark, but they both now have huge gaps down the tails like obvious bold striping but only in the tail? To be more descriptive the tail patterns were full and now they are parted straight down the middle with a large wide gap with no pattern.

Is this normal for the two morphs? Its the first time I have raised this coloration so I am not sure.

Could it also be a trait which develops in juvies then corrects itself as adults or is there something more to it?

Curiosity kills me.

I would think it's normal since many super snows have spots that line up into stripes and raptors are from a stripe line.
