    Variation in normals? Or different morphs?

    I may have a few bps but I'm not at all good at genetics. Anyway, I have two bps, one male, one female, both sold as yellow bellies, but look significantly different from one another. I figured I get some opinions on what they really are. They male is quite a bit darker, but it doesn't show so well on my crappy camera. And also, sorry for the dirty floor, I promise I'll vacuum it soon.

    Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.

    Normal vary greatly from busy to reduced pattern, from light to dark, belly may also vary.

    Lighting sucks, but there is definitely a major difference between the two. Better pic with better lighting will help.

    Sorry for the lighting and bad pics, it's partially my camera, partially the houses lighting, and partially that they won't stay still for 2 seconds. I added a couple more shots of both of them together, and both of there bellies.

    I am pretty sure the pic of the first one is a yb because of the markings close to the "pied" het tracks. No idea on the second one though but I am new to ball pythons.

    I know yellowbellies can be low expression but to be honest both of those just look like the transitionfrom sides to belly I'd expect on a normal.
