Yellow Belly?

I'm still far from an expert on identifying yellow bellies. Any opinions on this guy?

He has the flames all along his sides, the funky pattern, but Im not good at telling by the belly shot.

Thanks for any insight.

Being that I can't tell yellow bellies, unless they are next to a normal, I can't be positive. I still looks like a normal to me though. If you think otherwise try breeding him out. :D

I'm not an expert either, but I think he's a normal too.

Flames? Check.
Yellow near belly edge? Nope.
Light dot on head? Nope.

Cleo has some nice flames too but I know she's not a yellow belly - just purty. =)

Got a better head shot?

Doesn't look bright, no "pop" like yellow bellies should have (could be camera, but I'm just going with what I see) ... no light spot on the top of the head ... flames are good, but not "great" ... belly pattern is good, but not "great".

I don't know everything, that's for sure, but I do know that there isn't enough going on there for me to pay a premium for that animal.

JMHO.

Is a yellow belly just a special kind of normal, or is it a morph?

It's a morph. Yellow Belly's are co-dom "Het Ivories"... they make "somewhat" white snakes when bred together... Not the cleanest white in the world... but hey... it's still a white snake. :)
