    Need help identifying new Craigslist pickup

    Hi guys,

    Scanning Craigslist for feeders in my area I came across an ad looking to rehome a female BP. I usually stay away from Craigslist reptiles after being burned in the past but I could not resist at least inquiring. Long story short after emailing back and forth we agreed on a reasonable price and I purchased it. It's apparently about 1.5 years old, it's a little undersized in my opinion since it has been fed 1 mouse a week. My collection so far is very easy to identity and I have zero experience with the these genes, they thought it was a firefly yellow belly, what do you guys think.

    Do you have any more shots of the belly? It's a firefly imo but the yellowbelly part im on the fence about.

    I'm thinking she's a firefly also, I'm pretty sure the people I got her from had no idea what she was.

    Here is a few more belly pics for those of you with a trained eye.

    Hmm, I'm leaning towards it having yellowbelly but until you prove it out, it's just a hunch. Problem wiht identifying yellowbellies is that any morphs that have a white belly will lower the "yellowbelly" that usually identifies yellowbelly.

    Looks like a firefly to me. Definitely has pastel genes, but it looks like more than just a pastel.
