    Does this snake have Yellowbelly?

    So I bought this bumblebee last year and it's supposed to be possible het pied and possible yellowbelly. I'm not very good at figuring out if it's yellowbelly so I thought I'd post a few photos and see if you guys can help me out. We know for sure she has Spider and Pastel.

    She still has a little spunk, not as aggressive as when I got her but every now and then she shoots out a wild and crazy aggressive strike just to keep things interesting! She sure is a beauty though, I have a lot of breeding plans for her, I may cross her with my Fire Pied the first year when she gets big enough to try to prove out her possible pied.

    The white spots on her sides are interesting, almost like she may have some Calico in her?

    The spider in this snake is amazing, there's no wobble or handicap at all, probably the only one out of all my spiders.

    I'm thinking the white spots may be connected to the spider gene, I've seen other spiders with similar 'calico' markings. It may be difficult to figure out if you have a calico spider?

    You should check with Jerry Robertson. He is a YB king

    plenty of Spider combo's have white speckling. my Dream Bee and Honey Bee have that (and gold and yellow speckling too). Calider's (Calico Spiders) don't just have speckling, but they have high white sides!

    my G-Stripe Spider combo also has high whites, but she doesn't have Calico. i trust breeders and pairings/genetics more than assumptions based on small visual cues.
