Hehehehe, I just wanted to finally be able to ask the eternal question... Is this a yellow belly....

These started hatching today, and this is the first one out of the egg. First, a little back story... A few years back I bought a 'Proven Line' yellow belly from the guy who wrote the hunters guide to the morphs. I figured he should know if anyone does right? The breeder male that I got was NOT the best example of the morph (and the price reflected this) Frankly at the time I didn't care since my goal was to produce an ivory and I figured that a cheap one would produce as nice of an ivory as an expensive one... Since then, I've wished that I had gotten a better quality yellow belly for the nice crosses that they can produce, although I still think that an average or below average one like I got will produce just as nice ivories as the most expensive one you can find...

I think I already know what's what here... But I thought it would be interesting to see what everyone else's thoughts were on the matter... So.... Is this a yellow belly or not???

The color isn't quite there, not really bright enough, but pretty close to the right tone.


Nice head spot. A pretty good diagnostic indicator...


Not great flames, but they're still flames and the color is right...


Belly pattern isn't real close but maybe close enough? What do you think??
At least it's a nice belly button shot...


Another belly shot, still not great but kinda close....


So, now that you've seen the pics.. Yo Dude... is this a yellow belly????

Hehehehehehehe
