Clean Belly

What is so special about a clean belly? Does it mean that the snake is het for something? Also, my snake has a yellow tint to her belly..does that mean shes a yb???

I've been wondering the same thing..

It could mean alot of things. Though a clean belly can mean something special, it normaly will not unless you buy it as something special. Even if there ever happens to be a Genetic clear belly, would it really be popular without a super form?

It could be a yb, but does its belly look anything like this:

its yellow but not that yellow

Its the pattern that makes the yb morph, look at the speckling pattern following the clear yellow belly.

ok, if she is will she be able to make an ivory

Are you saying all yellow bellys have yellow bellys?

Clear bellies are part of certain morphs characteristics so it is always a point of interest.

No. You can put your boots in the oven, but that doesn't make them biscuits.

True Yellowbellies should produce more Yellowbellies when bred to a normal/snake not carrying the Yellowbelly gene, or Ivories when bred to Yellowbelly or Ivory.

Do you have pics of said snake?

No, I was saying that the pattern around the yellow is the way you can tell if it is a true yellow belly, and not to just judge it on the yellowness.
