Is my normal a yellow belly?

my husband and i purchased this little guy in may from our local petsmart and was wondering if it (not sure of gender) was labeled correctly. i see a lot of yellow belly characteristics, it's the belly itself that is confusing me.

No YB there, I see a normal

Belly pattern is way off for YB. Sorry "just wild type animal"

normal

Thanks all! Doesn't bother me that it's a normal. Being a first time ball python owner, morphs and colors are all new to me! all that matters to me is that it's happy and healthy!

Looks like he's been eating well for you!

Yellow belly for comparison

Why did you purchase a Ball Python at a chain store? If there are breeders in your area, they probably would have given you a normal for $10 or maybe free. You probably could get a Pastel from a breeder for the same price as a normal from a chain store?? Especially a male. I imagine, even paying something for a normal male plus shipping would be cheaper than a chain pet store, or maybe not. Have not been in one in awhile.

we purchased it from a chain store because they were having a killer sale on their reptiles and we don't have many if any at all breeders in the area. ordering from a breeder on line and having them shipped is new to me. i wasn't sure it would arrive alive with the way our shipping companies handle things. it will be something i start looking into. we payed $30 for it at petsmart when they are originally around $70-$80.
