Yours look like a decent adult pastel, but not a yellowbelly.

I agree with your assessment of her snake but yellowbelly's not having a yellow belly kind of throws me?
It is named yellowbelly for a reason I thought :confused:
I would agree that there's some inferior quality yb's that don't possess the bright yellow that a quality yellowbelly belly displays.

The write-up I posted above mentions that the name refers to the sides of the belly, not the belly itself. Though, of course most YBs do have actual yellow bellies. Just what I read, clearly I'm no expert, I don't even own one yet. :P

He does have beautiful blushing, maybe those first two pics didn't show them off too well as he was wrapped around someone's neck!

Thanks Gale! I do know that most of the time their actual bellies aren't yellow. My BP just has a brighter yellow that runs along the sides of his belly. Actually, I didn't even think he was anything but pastel until I noticed how bright that yellow is. Unfortunately my camera doesn't capture it as beautifully as it is, but I'm sure that with the new pics we can come to a conclusion without a doubt. Thanks a lot!

Ok, just wondering did you mean pastel yellow belly? or just YB? I didnt know there was pastel yb's and I just thought this may be a normal YB.
