    How do you know (yellow bellies)

    I just got this little lady and she's a yellow belly. I can somewhat see the yellow but with all the different kinds of normals out there, how do you know without breeding ?





    I find she looks a lot with another of my normals....




    Except the alien shapes and spectling inside them, I don't really see the difference ? Can't seem to find a belly shot, but it is white.

    Two last shots are in fluorescent lights while the others are ambient light.

    The name Yellow Belly is a bit of a misnomer. Here is a good reference to use to help become more familiar with this morph:

    I am also under the impression that its not a yellowbelly. I generally see far more speckling on the belly of mine and a noticeable difference in the patterning on the animal.

    Re: How do you know (yellow bellies)

    IMO the animal you posted is clearly NOT a yellowbelly. Some yellowbellies have a "yellow" belly and some do not, however they all have a distinct checkering along the sides of the belly. The snake you posted does not have anywhere near the amount of checkering you would expect to see in a yellowbelly.

    Thanks for the info guys! I'm not too bummed she might not be yellow belly, was more interested in getting a female to add to my male's "harem". Will cross my finger she's something when she's ready to breed...

    Its been said but I also agree not a yellowbelly. Its a gene I work with the most. Not a big deal unless you paid for a yellowbelly female.

    This is the second snake I get "caught" on. I did buy her because she was female, but cost more because yellow belly :/

    I need a guide on figuring out all the morphs xP
