orange belly x yellowbelly

At the moment, I am considering breeding my super orangebelly male to my yellowbelly female. Thoughts? I know they're essentially the same thing with the exception that orangebellies can produce a different variety of ivories. But my two main thoughts are: 1.) has orange belly x yellowbelly been done before, if so I haven't been able to find it and 2) in the event an ivory is produced, which I assume it would be, and you breed an ivory adult from that pairing, what would it's offspring be?

from what I can remember the graphite's and ultra ivories are thrown random from that line of YB's, not sure if you would get them if they were mixed with another line of YB's.

theoretically from your breeding super orange belly(ivory) x YB = 50% YB 50% Ivories.

I don't really see how tell a orange belly from any other YB just on looks. Maybe someone with that line can chime in.

Here is a picture of my single gene orange belly and one of a pastel yellowbelly, my orange belly has a very heavy checkered pattern on her stomach where the yellowbelly is mostly on the lining of the stomach. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/11...cff787261c.jpg

I've produced Ivories from both an Orangebelly male to a Yellowbelly female and an Orangebelly male to an Orangebelly female. The Ivories that were Orangebelly/Yellowbelly ended up developing Graphite markings at about six months, nine months, and almost 20 months. The Ivories that are Orangebelly/Orangebelly did not develop definitive Graphite markings by the time that I sold the, but at least one of them was showing some possible Graphite markings when I sold her.

I have not bred any of the Ivories, so I don't know if you could really tell the Orangebelly babies from the Yellowbelly babies. I do know that the Orangebellies that I work with look much better than most Yellowbellies, but I don't think you could say for absolute certainty that this is an Orangebelly and this is a Yellowbelly.

i would like to work with those OB i guess in combos they can bring more orange than a traditional YB
