Well I bought a pair of yellow bellies a few years ago, and just got a few babies from them. I was hoping for at least one ivory. I had 5 hatch out (lost 2) and of the 5, 4 of them had stripes that went down the length of the snake. Not as much as the genetic stripes I’ve seen, but 4 out of 5 having a stripe seemed a bit too much of a coincidence, so I think it has to be somehow genetic, but still don’t think they are worth much.

I have 3 questions.
1) Now that I’m looking closer, I think the Male YB may not be a YB, any opinions?
2) Any opinions as to if the babies are YB’s?
3) Any idea what is up with the stripe?

Links have more pics, I just included a few here.

did not take pics of the 2 that died, but they had stripes that went the full length also.
