My first python

I just got him at the reptile expo in Long Island yesterday. He is my first snake and i tried to get a morph. Just to make sure, can anyone tell if this is a real yellowbelly or just a fancy normal? Either way, I think he is awesome. :)

I don't Know.. you have hed spot You have flames n the sides... but belly... I don't know... Is really hard to say I'll go with fancy normal... But I can be wrong.. I see Yellowbelly's before who looks almost like normals and produce ivories. Did You buy him as YB or normal ??

the guy at the stand said it is a YB but i dont want to feel like i was just tricked
also,his underside has little yellow blotches, they are like faded yellow but i can see them,the underside of his tail area also has some yellow in it.

The flames and color say YB. :gj:

Beautiful!!! The colors in those shots on the DJ equipment are phenomenal! Gorgeous yellows!

thnx guys i really appreciate the help, btw im new to the forums too lol, i just figured it was right to post pics of my new snake for my first thread.

I can't tell you if it's a yellow belly or not, because i stink at identifying morphs that aren't obvious, but he is really pretty :)

I would have to agree with Turbo. Looks like our Yellowbellys I have here. I would say yes.. I guess the price would be the easy wat to tell.. How much ya pay?

does the description of the snake help at all? At the expo there was one for $60 but i didn't buy it because it seems aggressive, probably because the breeder was handling it pretty rough. But this one was selling for $100 and i was able to talk the man down to $80.

First BP Huh? Well BG will save you the trouble of the post you're gonna make next winter. Yes...it's perfectly normal for them to go off feed.:gj:

We need better belly pics.

I'd bet a good amount that that is a Yellowbelly. The belly shots aren't great, but I'm nearly positive that's a Yellowbelly.

Cheers,

Male YB generally sell for $75 - 200 depending on quality and coloration.

Id say yes. This is the belly of a girl I produced last year. Looks very similar.

YB is a very subtle morph. :gj:

Grats on the new addiction:) be careful it can become so strong you may start selling off yoru posessions to acquire more lol:)

How can the new belly pictures turn people against it being a Yellowbelly? It's clearly a Yellowbelly with a subtly speckled belly, no?

Cheers,

Thnx for all your opinions guys, but I would be really sad if it wasnt a yellow belly and just a fancy normal...

Hey DJ B, iam the guy you bought the YB male from ..rest assure he is the real deal..I stand behind my animals 100000% if you have any questions you can contact me at info@morphmadness.com i will do my best to help you in any way ...Thanks again:gj:

If you bought it as a yb from an expo it's probably a yb. Some ybs don't have great yb bellies. I'd also say he's a yb because of the flames and belly, and the fact that you bought it at an expo as a yb. If you bought it off craigslist or a pet store I would be less inclined to believe that it was a yb with a less than perfect yb belly.

I agree, it's hard to pass off fakes at shows with any number of experts walking around. All it takes is one person with the knowledge to spot the fakes and the seller is done selling.
Not worth the risk IMO to sell fakes at shows.

Morphs are overrated. I'll take a gorgeous normal over a morph any day!


Congrats!! He's a pretty boy! Love the star pattern. :gj:

hey Jah Luv, sry if thats really you, I'm just new to the whole BP thing and it def looks like a YB but apparently sometimes some normals can have a similar look. Not trying to offend you or anything

DJ B , No offense taken at all ..just want to make sure your happy with your purchase ..Being new to Bps iam glad that your on the board this is a great place to learn all the basics.:gj:as a friend just make sure you before your next purchase (there will be more they're like LAYS chips can't have just one :rolleye2:) Do your research so you can buy with confidence..Best of luck with your little guy.:salute:

congrats and all that really matters in the end is that YOU love her!! She is beautiful!!! Again...congrats and welcome to the addiction!!

Since you are new take a minute to go through the care sheet...there is a ton of information on there that is awesome!!:D

I agree with BPelizabeth , and it's really commendable to see the seller take the time to answer and offer contact info. I have found in this area that almost everyone is willing to help!

honestly i absolutly love the snake, he is awesome. This was a purchase a little on a whim because I was a little uncomfortable with snakes only because i didn't know much about them. But i did the research and wanted to try something new and now its been like 4 days since i got him and im already looking on the market for another. lol

Ya its a YB :] Pretty one!

And hey normals arent bad at all. I have 4 and love them to peices.

Since you said you are new to snakes. Make sure you read up on stuff. Leave him alone in his enviroment for about a good week or two.

i actually have handled him every day since i got him and he seems comfortable with it
