Do I have a Yellow Belly? *Repost w/ Pics*

[Lillyponygirl]

I'll post the link to the old post, but today I just went out to take some pics to show you guys.

From what I've been able to do matching wise he still looks like one to me, but I really am not qualified to say so.

The pictures are <b>extremely</b> blurry, and I did them in 2 types of lighting because outside the sun glinted off all him, and made even the black seem white. I've also realized his belly even has a bit of a pinkish hue -- but is very yellow. He is also (of course) going through a shed. But I'll take some more pics once he's through with it.

Nope.

That's a normal.

Yep, a normal. No flames, and no belly speckling.

He has a really nice reduced pattern though! I like it!

It's a normal not a yellow belly

See the wide black squiggly lines towards the belly, those are not on a yellow belly.
Yellow belly bellies have little thin squiggly lines...
Yellow belly's has flame after flame after flame from head to toe

Baby belly

Nope, not a YB - there are not flames between all the side patterns like they are in this YB:



and the belly pictures that you show has solid black on the side, not granite patterning like this:



It is, however, a very nice reduced pattern normal.

Thanks everyone!
I understand now -- i just assumed because of the cream shade in his belly.

The term "yellowbelly" is kind of misleading I think.

This morph does not really have a yellow belly at all. I was so sure when I got my first normal that he was a yellowbelly, he had great big patches of yellow all along his sides right where they meet his belly, hence yellowbelly.

Of course, I learned like you that I was mistaken. But, he's a really lovely reduced pattern normal, much like yours. I love him anyway.
