Re: Why is my BEL stripey?
Mojave X Lesser is reported to produce the most white of the BELS, while lesser X lesser and mojave X mojave have some color discoloration at times. Sometimes moderate, sometimes extreme. Beautiful animal, however.
EDIT: Also, as he ages the color should bronze out or turn a platinum color because he is from Lesser X Lesser.
Mojaves x Mojaves have more purple effects if there are any discolorations and also bronze out with age, but not to the same extent.
I should say the markings definitely do not make your animal any less marketable than a pure white BEL, because a lot of individuals love the discoloration. Some people of course prefer white, but others definitely love a little mark to their pythons.
Hope that helped.

I'll see if I can get a face picture tomorrow. It's quite tricky to get the yellow to show. :cool:
Re: Why is my BEL stripey?
I think it may have something to do with the line your using,
I've heard the noah line sometimes can produce some interesting offspring.
I would look into it and hold that animal, just in case.
Re: Why is my BEL stripey?
That's wild! Looking forward to more pics
My Super Mojave Sulfur female has a distinct line.
Basically, the top half of the snake is yellow and the bottom half is white. Similar to yours,
but yours seems to have more of a stripe that half and half.
