    Super Pastel Mojave Yellow Belly Clutch Update
    In February I posted some pictures here on BP.net of the Super Pastel Mojave Yellow Belly Clutch I hatched out. If you didn’t see it the first time here is The Link to it. Since that time they have developed into some incredible looking animals and I thought that everyone here on the Forum would enjoy seeing them. I love taking pictures of the animals I produce (and there are a lot of them here to look at, LOL), so lets get to the pictures.

    First up is one of the Female Pastel Mojave Yellow Belly’s.

    Next up is the other Female Pastel Mojave Yellow Belly.

    The next one is the Female Super Pastel Mojave Yellow Belly.

    The last one is the Male Super Pastel Mojave Yellow Belly.

    I also thought that you might enjoy seeing the transformation from hatchling to Sub-Adult so here is a five-picture comparison of one of the Super Pastel Mojave Yellow Belly’s from the day she hatched (12/6/10) to the last picture taken about a month ago.

    Taken 12/6/10 right out of the egg and washed up.

    Taken 12/28/10 after first shed and a few meals.

    http://www.albeysreptiles.com/images..._800_12.28.jpg

    Taken 1/20/11.

    http://www.albeysreptiles.com/images...1_800_1.20.jpg

    Taken 2/13/11.

    http://www.albeysreptiles.com/images...1_800_2.13.jpg

    This one was taken on 4/28/11.

    http://www.albeysreptiles.com/images...1_800_4.28.jpg

    It sure is a pretty incredible change they go through don’t you think, and boy you can really see the Yellow Belly influence coming through now?

    I hope you enjoy the pictures

    Thanks for sharing Albey! I've been contemplating my Pastel YB to my Fire Mojave. I think that just sealed the deal if they look anything like that. One question for you, any chance I can see some belly shots? I read somewhere it can be hard to see the YB. Curious if that's the case or not so I can actually tell if I get a Firefly Mojave YB :)

    I'm absolutely amazed at how bright her yellow has gotten. Definitely a morph that gets better with age. :gj:

    They look incredible! I already have pastels and mojos in my collection. I'll be picking up a yellowbelly in the near future as I want to create one of my own! Thanks again for sharing! :gj:

    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,

    Thanks Jim. As far as I know these are the first ones to be produced. I checked with The Snake Keeper and they told me they think they are the first and if they haven’t produced them yet I don’t know who could have. :D

    I am not big on naming every new combo. I have enough trouble remembering the names of all of the new single gene Morphs that are being produced no less all of the names that mean nothing for the combo’s. :) The official name is Super Pastel Mojave Yellow Belly. I realize that is a mouthful but at least there can be no mistaking what it is. :gj:

    Re: Super Pastel Mojave Yellow Belly Clutch Update
    Thanks for sharing Albey.

    From Black Pastel to Spider to Pastel to Lesser and on and on, the Yellow Belly gene is THE most important gene needed to take everything to another level. And, as you have shown in your pics, the animals seldom do anything other than get better with age.

    Pumas and Super Stripes are on almost everybody's list of animals to add to the collection and the existence of the Puma is proof-positive that we are far from done seeing surprises from Yellow Belly dinkering. The next step to take in evolving any project, no matter what it is, is to add Yellow Belly to it and see what happens. 95% of the time it is just that: an evolutionary leap forward. As excited as I am to see a ghost mystic potion I can only imagine the insanity of a yellow belly ghost mystic potion. Maybe we should be calling it the "Yellow Better" gene instead.

    It continues to amaze me that people let go of their Yellow Belly females for so little. They are genetic gold being sold for the price of aluminum.
