    Hemlock(pos. YB)finally shed!!! UR .02 pleez!!
    The original post of her was "Average or not so average normal?", and a few of you commented on the fact she may be a YB.However, she was unfortunately in shed, so I could not post any pics of her for you guys to tell if she was a YB. Went to the guide that someone gave, which was very helpful, by the way(thanks JLC!). She has:
    1.the spot one her head
    2."flames"
    3.not as bright or concentrated, but she does have yellow on the sides of her belly.
    4. the "speckling" is what I can't tell......I compared her to the pics from that link JLC gave me, and there are some shots of others with weak speckling. I looked and looked, and I just can't tell for sure if she is a YB or not. At best, If she is, her speckling is very weak and she has reduced yellow. She shed last night, so I took some pics. She was very uncooperative,and after only about 3 mins. I had to put her back, as she was getting really stressed! Wasn't able to get that "good belly shot" like on that link, but hopefully these will help.

    you can relly see the marking on her head in this one:

    I think this will be the "deciding" shot if anything......

    Yellow bellies are easiest to determine when held alongside a normal. That might be your best bet. More than likely, you have a normal. The probability of you accidentally picking up a morph is sooo slim. Unless you purchased it as such, I would guess you have a lovely normal. :D

    Doesn't look at all like a yellow belly to me.

    If you think that she is, the best thing you can do is breed her and prove her out.

    Thanks Adam. I was hoping you'd see this post, as you are always so helpful!!! I kinda figured she wasn't, it's just that JLC got me so excited about the possibilities, and it kinda "blinded" me from reality. She's just pretty much a "nice normal".Whether or not she lays this year, I am definately going to breed her to this guy next year and see what comes out:

    Sorry for getting everyone so worked up! I was hoping Adam would take a look and say something. And after seeing these new pictures, she does look a lot less like a YB than she did in those original pics. Aahhh well... She IS gorgeous, and her boyfriend there is quite handsome as well! They'll make fabulous babies! (Although I don't see anything "clownish" about the male....hehe...we'll all be seeing "morphs" in your snakes now! LOL)
