    BEL or Ivory Ball?

    Hey guys I have a decision to make. I was planning on either purchasing a male and female Mojave or a male and female yellow belly. I was just wondering which combination that you guys personally like. I'm going for BELS or Ivories. Thanks, Ken

    I personally don't like the grey head on the mojave compared to other BEL. However I love the yellow dorsal on Ivorys, also I think yellow belly complex stuff is going to be hot the next couple years with all the superstripe, puma, highway stuff. So I'd go YB.

    Re: BEL or Ivory Ball?

    I think both are great, now if I had to go on overall eventual looks the Ivory is a much nicer snake as an adult. IMO

    Your going to get a lot of mixed opinions on this one.

    If your looking to try and get in with future trends I would go YB like OWAL said..
    If your looking for variety, I'd go with a Mojo x Lesser BEL and even if you breed it to a normal you'll potentially get mojos and lessers, where with the Ivory you'll only see YB.
    Personally I really like the look of the BELs, especially with the Mojave influence.

    Personally I would go with the BEL, but I don't buy animals (for the most part) thinking about what could make me money in the future.. I wan't to make something cool, that I want.

    Good luck

    Chris.

    Ok thanks for the input everyone! I'm not looking on making a profit off of these guys.I love my snakes. I've just been debating with myself which one. I have noticed the yellow line going down the dorsal on ivories, but I love the blue eyes on the BELS haha

    I have both and imo Ivories are a much better looking snake if you are going by looks of each super



    Ivory > Mojave BEL > Lesser BEL

    For the genetics id probably prefer an ivory. I like the yellow striping too.

    For the blue eyes though, which i love like SS said^, i plan on making a mojo lesser BEL.

    Id like one of each someday!
