    There's a sticky about how to attach a picture to a post I think..

    You should ask if it's a yellowbelly or a normal. It's one or the other. There isn't a "het yellowbelly" that looks like a normal.

    Yellowbelly is "het" for ivory, so it's a hit or miss morph like pastel. When you breed normal to yellowbelly, you get some yellowbelly babies and some normal babies. The ones that look normal are NORMAL, not carriers for yellowbelly.

    I'd say I'd look at the pictures for you, but I can't "see" yellowbelly either. I have a blind spot for them it seems, and I've been shown the snakes in person with a lengthy explanation. So you're not alone!

    Good luck!

    Welcome to BP.net!

    I'm not a yellowbelly expert but as wolfy said there is no "Het for Yellowbelly", Yellowbelly itself is a het gene for Ivory.
    BP due make perfect pets! That's great you are considering getting one.

    I'm sure someone who knows more than I due about identifying YB will help you out. Just wanted to say
