Is this a chocolate?

[ball-nut]

As the title says really, does this look like a chocolate?
I got her as a sub adult from a store in 2006 with unknown history. I have bred her twice, to a Yellowbelly and then a pastel. The first breeding yielded 2 Yellowbellies and a normal. One yellow belly died but the darker one of the two lived and kept it. That Yellowbelly has grown on now and is much more "bronze" then the normal golden colours ive seen on other Yellowbellies.
This year I bred her to a nice grazi pastel and produced 2 pastels and 2 normals. Both pastels are quite dark and look browned out already, they both have a clear central belly but heavy patterning on the scales immediately connecting the centre belly scales which I have not seen on a pastel before. Also from this clutch, one of the normals is very dark with much deeper colouration, the yellow stretches right down into the belly which itself is a dark creamy colour.

The dark Yellowbelly when younger.
It held a lot more red/orange than anything I'd seen before.

And now, & compared with a female holdback roughly same age.
