Yellow Bellies... Info please.

[M&J in NC]

I'm still unclear on the traits that define a Yellow Belly. I have a book that says "look for a yellowish tint on the belly as well as triangle-shaped color blotches jetting into the side pattern." It also shows a pic, but I can't see any yellow tint or triangle-shaped blotches. Not a very good pic. Would anyone like to post some good, close-up pics of their YBs? It would really help me learn to ID this morph. Thank You

Hi,

Have you checked out the hunters guide to yellowbellies in this post - it has some great pictures to help explain it.

I just checked it out. Very informative. Thanks

The problem with yellowbellies is that they are variable. Some are easy and others are not so. Once you produce a few they are quite easy to pic out next to the normals.

Here is a pic of a yellowbelly I produced last year:




Hope this helps, he is not the best example of a yellowbelly that I produced, but it's all I have on hand at this time.
