did I get ripped off?

A non-sucky YB pic (belly shot):


To the OP, read carefully. Your YB is not of the same colouration as the one preduced by me here, but that's just due to the line I'm working with.

LOOK at the area when the pattern meets the belly- even on sucky YB (or sucky pics) you'll note it almost looks pixelated like a low-res you-tube video. Your snake is a YB. I suggest you get to know the attributes on the morphs a bit better BEFORE you buy.

Too simple ask in advance what to look for- there'e enough of us here to help with that.

I agree. Good advice for anyone who is new and is shopping for a morph. Ask about them first so you know what ot look for.

And also make sure you buy from someone legit, then you can be assured you're getting what you paid for.

From what I see, I say it's a yellow belly.
If it's dead in the morning, I'd say it was sent to you sick and you got ripped off.
Buy from breeders that have been around a few years and you won't get the ripped off feelings. Uh, I guess.

Is Big Gunns a dude with man boobs?
I guess I don't get it.

The pictures suck but yes that is a YB.
Not really defined markings but if you know what to look for, they are not easily confused.

I appreciate all the feedback, even the obnoxious 3rd person bit. I was basing my original observations on something I read about there supposedly being a spot on the head that is not present on my snake. All the other characterictics of yellowbellies are clearly visible, so I just was unsure.

My question to the OP is this what kind of dialogue did you have with the breeder between suspecting a mistake had been made and verifying the ID with us? People tend to forget that mistakes do happen. Breeder's are people too so mistakes do happen.When you first suspect a mistake had been made your first call should be the breeder. Give them the chance to fix the mistake or to explain and rectify the error.

As a breeder if I make a mistake and your first call isn't me the minute you think something is a miss.. I'm going to think your trying to pull something..

Prime example this happened to me..I ordered a HC albino female. Paid for it and it got shipped. One of the smoothest transactions I've ever had.. Get the animal in and it is completely different than the animal in the pic that I was sent and in the advertisement. I instantly pick up the phone called the breeder and here's the key ...UN-Accusingly stated there may have been a mix up. I explained the problem and the breeder went right to work seeing where the mix up was..See the snake I was looking at was labeled as male on the breeders site, there was only two male and female. I ordered a female. Come to find out, I did get the female (and the better looking of the two animals). What happened was the pics got switched around on the site..

I never once thought or even considered that the breeder was trying to rip me off. I simply felt a mistake had been made..

Please everyone remember people on a forum can't solve an issue between you and your breeder. So go to the breeder first and when all possible avenues have been explored. Then ask for outside help.
