It's embarrassing only because I feel like I totally should know better -- ARGH. But, I would rather make an embarrassing post than be in doubt, soo ...
I just got these guys in this morning. I am fairly certain they are yellow bellies (as they were sold as), but given the circumstances I just want to make absolutely sure. YBs, along with chocolates and true granites are one of those morphs I just have the hardest darn time with.
To me, the first one looks like a YB just on pattern alone, but I still just get messed up with the bellies ... I know the sides are supposed to have a granite/checkered pattern; I guess I'm just not totally 100% seeing it.
Anyway, here they are:
Female #1
Female #2
... What throws me off about her belly is that she has some dark flecking right in the middle there, and I feel like a YB's belly is supposed to be totally clear ... ?
Male
... Can post or get more pics if necessary. Thanks so much, all!
