I haven't produced many Pastel YBs, and the handful I have produced have been easy to identify. However, this pretty weirdo popped out and I'm torn.
All three of the snakes in the photos were produced from a Pastel Yellow Belly X Yellow Belly breeding. The Pastel is obvious, the Pastel YB is obvious, but the bright yellow one? I can't make up my mind about its belly. It has an insanely bright, clean pattern (nothing like the drab pastel sibling), but the belly throws me off. There's very little blushing, and no black outline/checkered scales along the belly. What do you think? Pastel or Pastel YB??
First pic is pastel:
Second pic is pastel YB:
Last couple pics are the confusing snake:
