Mystery snake with a brown out line

I don't see yellow belly in amy of those snakes posted. Post belly pics punkedprincess.

Here are two pictures of a pretty typical yellow belly. As you can see, neither of the two posted previous exhibit these characteristics.

Yellow bellies are very variable though. Yours looks like a het pied. I would call yours atypical, leaning toward awesome. I chose this hecate of the heavy granite. I noticed that some yb have peppered lower lowered halves of their alien heads.

Chloe, what you are not seeing in the picture you just posted is the belly, and importantly, the connection between the lateral markings and the belly itself. If you are convinced that you got a yellow belly (I am sure it was from a reputable breeder), then roll with it and why even worry about asking for advice about what you got? However, if you pair it with a definite yellow belly and never produce Ivories, sadly I would not be surprised. Why don't you go back to the breeder you got it from and genetic some paperwork confirming the genetic traits exhibited by your snake, and thus a guarantee?

The picture I posted is characteristic of the first yellow belly I purchased (for $15,000) in 2004, and every one I have owned since (including the pictured one I picked up (from a reputable breeder) for $50.

Not seeing any yellowbelly in any of the snakes pictured except for the ones Warren provided. Those are lovely examples of yb, and in no way atypical of the gene. Nor do the pictures look het pied. That has a totally different look. Obviously both yb, and het pied are variable, but there are certain traits that make a yb a yb which yours are lacking. Granted yb could look het pied to an untrained eye, but once you've seen enough, there is no mistake. Here is a het pied to help with your confusion. Unfortunately the only yb I have to contrast with it is an ivory so I could not add that comparison for you. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2017...282635dee1.jpg
