    Normal or Yellowbelly?

    I purchased this snake a few months ago as a normal female but my friend thinks it looks a bit like a yellowbelly. I think it looks pretty normal but also has some of the characteristics of a yellowbelly. For me yellowbellys are somewhat hard to pick out from normals some times so I just don't know what to think so I thought I would ask everyone else's opinions. Please let me know what you think!

    Okay, I know I suck at picking out yellowbelly's...

    But, from that picture, I don't think it is a yb. The reason I say this is because a yb has a clean belly with a "smudged" pattern running down the sides of the belly where the flames end. That picture shows pattern in the middle of the belly.

    It is a cool pattern normal though!

    Okay, you experts out there... am I right or not?

    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"

    I'm not an expert either, but I agree with you. Pretty normal.
