The yellowbelly really adds some punch to that combo :gj:

It's amazing the way they color up. Beautiful!

Too cool!!!!!!!!!

What a incredible transformation. Man would I kill to have that girl in my collection. Great pictures and thanks for sharing.

I think you should go for it, that would be an incredible cross. One of the problems with Yellow Belly’s though is sometimes they add speckling to the belly and sometimes they do the opposite and act like a cleanup gene. In this case they acted like a cleanup gene. The only way you can tell if they have the Yellow Belly is the color of them, just like the Sterling Yellow Belly. Here is a belly shot. It is not very good as these guys do not like to sit for photos especially at night. LOL

Awesome animals as always, Albey :) Are you the first to produce this combo? If not, how do yours compare to others produced? I know you are a great selective breeder, so I'd imagine yours are cleaner than most, but was curious to see what you thought.
Also, if you're the first to produce them, please give them a cool name like and albey belly or something. Now that we (the industry) is seeing 4 gene animals more often, it makes for a real mouthful when talking about them

Thank you very much for the pictures and explanation! I'm thinking the Fire / YB might be hard to distinguish mixed with the Pastel and Mojave. Especially, since both of the genes offer some cleanup and/or color modification. My Fire Mojave is super reduced and her yellow just screams. Her sides and neck look much more like a Lesser than a Mojave. Anything short of holding back and breeding the most distinguished animals might make it hard to prove if both genes are present. I've got a lot to ponder. Are you aware of anything like I've proposed with the Pastel YB Fire Mojave? Or even something along those lines? Thanks again for your time.

Regards,
