    Question New pickup a yellowbelly?? PLEASE HELP!!

    Hey everyone hows it going, I am relatively new into ball pythons and becoming an avid learner (have owned and cared for them for about 2 years) today i picked up my 7th BP and when i saw her i was pretty shocked. I have been trying to learn how to tell the difference between markers and just good looking traits, all and any help is greatly appreciated. Let me start by saying this girl weighs in at 1800+ grams empty and is a real looker if she is not a YB. I looked up the markers for yb and she seems to have all of them, Blushing head, Blushing dorsal, Side Flames, Granite looking belly, and yellow sides, but for me its harder to tell adults from hatchlings, here are some pictures.

    Here we go.

    Sorry not a YB but it is a nice looking normal. Did you buy her as a YB or were you just checking? YBs have flames on the sides between the alien heads and checkered sides down along the belly. Often they will have some kind of head marker as well. Here are photos of our male for example.
