My new addition from the show!

Here's my pickup from White Plains. This is a male Yellowbelly from Joe Compel reptiles. I don't know why but I was very taken with this snake from when I first had him out.

Joe is a good guy, was very nice and talked to me about his business and snakes. They put up with me coming back 4 times to look at the same snake and finally buying it. :rolleyes:

These were taken last night and I was exhausted, and my hands were shaking so it was hard to get good shots. Apologies for the mediocrity here. I don't intend on taking him out for awhile, since he's now in his 7 day housewarming leave-me-alone period. Next week I will take better pics in better lighting and do a belly comparison with my normal female.

By the way, he was the ONLY yellowbelly at the show that actually had a noticeable yellow belly :D Well, that I saw anyways. You probably can't see this in the pics but he has a nice banded pattern on his back.

Thanks for looking! :)

Grats on your new addition and the show looked like a blast! Can't wait for daytona.

Nice Yellowbelly! They're one of my fav's. Flames

Very pretty ball, nice color!

Nice pick up !!!! i remember seeing that YB at his table. Joe is kool and great guy to talk to. i talked to him for about a half an hour on his snakes...

nice YB. Joe had some very nice snakes at his table. he always does.

Sweet yellow belly :gj:

Great looking BP, congratulations :banana:

Thanks all!! :)

Joe told me this is a "mid-range" example of the morph (I don't remember his exact words) but I don't know, I've been looking at a lot of YB pics and I don't think he was giving himself enough credit.

That's a very pretty snake, Icygirl!

I learned a new appreciation for yellowbellies and fireballs at that show! They're pretty impressive in person, far more than in photos on the 'net.

Turns out my "Funny Face" is a Classic Jungle - non-reproducible, so basically - a normal, LOL!

YBs Rock!! At first, I didn't really get all the hype over them until I saw a "real" one back in Dec.....needless to say, I left the show that day with him!! And I still love staring at him every day......
