Is this a Yellow Belly?

I don't know what to look for in a yellow belly so I wanted you guys help on this guy before I buy!

Thanks!!!

I'm going to say yes, one with a very interesting belly. Have you looked at Hunters Guide to yellow bellies on here?

That is definitely a confusing one. It must be a low expression yellow belly. The belly is clear, but it doesn't have the right pattern on the sides. I can't decide. Let the pros chime in!

No, I have not! I will have to look it up!

I couldnt find the link yesterday, and if you cant either here it is

I'm not sure on this one. The flames say yes, but the belly says not really. Ask for more pictures, that might help.

YB's are so cheap and plentiful why not hold out for one that screams YellowBelly?

Every yellow belly I've seen looks different to me. I'm still not clear what a snake that "screams" yellow belly should look like. I know I like the one I have.

I would like to see side pictures of that snake tho. :D

I'd have to say yes. I would check out that guide just to be sure.

I'd have to see more of the sides to say for sure.

I agree, a yellow belly should SCREAM yellow belly :P
Especially if you have aspirations of breeding it...

That's what I'm talking about right there...great looking YB...:gj:

Ah, you guys are talking about the actual yellowness of the belly. Sure you want that, I was talking more about markings. The picture of the snake for sale looks like a funky picture with flash, hard to tell it it's belly is yellow or not, it sure doesn't "scream" yellow. :D

Here is mine:

His belly is for sure yellow... Does it scream? I dunno.

A good quality yellow belly is pretty easy to tell from the top too.

I hatched a yb last season that looks very much like the OP's with clear belly and all, but it was still easy to tell it was a yb from the sides and top and belly.

If the OP could show side pics of the snake it would be much easier to tell if it was in fact a yellow belly.

Always good to know others think you picked a good snake. Sean had a lot of nice ones to choose from. :D

He's about to get fed in a few, the little guy is growing like a weed!

I suppose if the goal is to only produce ivories, it really wouldn't matter. I would think a screamer like your's comes into play when crossing into other morphs. That's where it will pay off to be patient and look for the best...

I plan on putting this guy to my fire and albino ladies once they are ready. I do plan on putting yellow belly into everything and everything I can get my hands on. I like how it brightens things up. That's why I named my guy Variable. :D

I'm trying to find pictures of yellowbelly + cinny but no joy.

Clear belly not always means "yellowbelly" and YB not always have yellow tint to the bellies... I seen YB with less amount of Yellow pigment in the body and they bellies was "white" but "granite speckling running on the sides of belly was unremarkable sign of YB...

In This Case I see clear belly I see flames but not "granite speckling" running on the side of belly so I say NO

But of Course I could be wrong....

I Agree that If You buying YB You should buy one what screams YB.

That what i done... Pictures link in My Signature ;)

Edit...
A what the heck 2 pictures...

You bring up an interesting point that Ive been wondering. If you produce an Ivory from a "screaming" Yellow Belly, do you think that Ivory will carry that characteristic? And when you put that Ivory with other morphs will that "screaming" Yellow Belly show?

I came across this boy on accident at a local breeders, and picked him up.

I'm not sure if it's random or something that would be passed on, but that is one hot yellowbelly...

I think that would something really interesting to find out, I guess only time and breeding will tell. And thanks for the complement!

Just got some more pics:

I now know it is a Yellow Belly! Please rate it from 1-10! i still don't know what "screams" yellow belly! I have not ever seen one!

Anyone?

Is this the same snake as the first one you posted? I don't see a clear belly anymore... but maybe it's just my computer. The pictures are sooo tiny! You got a bigger picture?

Yes, it is the same snake! Those are the pics he sent me after I requested more!

That's very interesting. Can you post bigger pics showin its belly and sides? Im really diggin that yb:)

That is a Yellowbelly.

I tried making them bigger but it won't work!

Hi,

I don't think you can make them any larger than they were when you uploaded them to photobucket.

If he gave you some versions larger than those you could try re-uploading to photobucket and turn off any resizing options while doing so.
