    Black Bellies

    I'm hoping to find a few answers on here, I haven't had much luck online so far. I aquired a black belly male that was supposed to be purchased directly from Ian. I haven't seen them before and am wondering if Ian is even selling them. I searched forums and all the posts i've seen were from last year. What's there value? Is there a super yet? Also if i could get pics of a black belly and a yellow jacket. Thanks for any info!

    Never heard of that. Is it a combo or base morph ?

    What made you decide to acquire a black belly if you don't even know what they are suppose to look like or what they are ?

    Beware of the scammers. There is some people trying to pass something for something they are not.

    I recall seeing last year Next Work Exotics had a Yellow Jacket for sale I think around 6k. There were also a few members that posted some CH black belly pics. I believe the animals from NWE were from Ian G.

    Re: Black Bellies

    The pictures I have seen look like normal animals but the belly has black pattern running down the middle. Sorta like a zipper.

    Re: Black Bellies

    I have a clutch that hatched out last week that came from a CB mom (sort of a black-back-ish dinker) and a 07 imported male, besides having green eyes this male is reduced pattern and very clean (i can't post pics?) but I was hoping to prove the green-eyed reduced pattern part of the male and was hoping to see a few black backs like mom.

    I got 3 reduced pattern blackbacks that look really yellow, almost pastel yellow, 2 have green eyes. The kicker is that they got that strange zipper pattern on the belly from the male. In fact the male also bred with my het ghost female and one from that clutch looks like him as well.

    I have been wracking my brain as to what they could be, then I found this post, once I can get some pics up I'd love to nail this mystery-ish snake down!

    Sometimes normals have the black "zipper pattern" on their bellies.

    Re: Black Bellies

    Good luck finding info on black bellies -not much out there..

    Here is a pic of a new baby I hatched - no idea if it is just a genetic pattern (like black backs) that mom or dad passed down or if it is some "morph". The babies have shed a couple times and they seem to be getting darker - they will be fun to play with!
