Potentials of the YB

So besides YB x YB making Ivories( I love the yellow dorsal line), what else can the YB do to other morphs?? :confused:

How do you feel about YBs, and what is their special or signature traits that make them a morph of their own besides crating Ivories(that's cool)?? thanks

Well, aside from ivories, Ive seen very good examples of yb x pastel cross, woma x yb, yb x specter(superstripe), hypo yb (wondrin how hypo ivory would look like) and the ebony w/c is very mysterious to start with. I know there's alot more crosses available there, these morphs may be very subtle, but packs a big potential when crossed to other morphs. :)

The same reason why I picked up one last month.:)

What does YB do to a morph when crossed with it? Is it something that the Fires, pastels, or other brightening morphs don't do?

There you go.

Pastel, Pastel YB, and YB all for comparison

I love the Yellowbelly possibilities. Just looking at a few examples Im wondering why these snakes dont seem to hold as much value, considering the beautiful things they are capable of.

Personally I think Yellow belly/Mojaves are particularly nice.

Look at all the beautiful pictureas. I'm in heaven :) :P

YB Woma and Ivory Pastels are two of my absolute favorites.

I know that Deb has a pic of a stellar YB Woma that she may post.

I like yellowbelly enough to have brought a pair home . . . Maybe babies with YB in 'em next year.

To my eye, the YB/Pastel tends to be a deeper, more saturated color than the Fire/Pastel (Firefly). Both are beautiful animals, though!

I think that part of the reason Yellowbelly didn't keep as high a value as Fire may have something to do with the impression that a great many of them came in from Africa, and some confusion over what they could actually do. By themselves, they're just kind of a really pretty, high-yellow snake, a little different from a normal... They also can be difficult to capture well in a photograph - I looked at the profiles, and the KS ads, and thought "What's the big deal?" I looked at living animals at the local herp show, and thought "I want me some o' that!"

so their signature trait is high yellow? I really don't see anything extraordinary from pastels or fire really other than a bit in the patterns. Pastels and fires are higher colored actually. I've had a fire, and a Pastel and I saw couple os YBs the other day.

I see... YB is like a preference by a person when it comes to choosing a higher yellowish morph right?

For me, I'd choose the Pastels or Fires for that purpose instead. Like I would take the Super Pastel instead of YBpastel.

Maybe Im missing something about the YBs? Thinking of getting one at the same time
