What is it?!?!?!?

[Louis Kirkland]

This same breeding last year produced 2 Pastel Ivorys. I was trying to make more. Nothing last year came out that was insane looking. However, this year, the 3 eggs in the clutch went bad, and the three remaining hatchlings were this YB male and a pair of Pastel YBs. The Pastel YBs are the 2 nicest ones I have ever seen. The female went to a friend, and the male was sold out of the country. I can say that this little YB had his umbilicus tied around his body in front of the opening, and therefore could not be untied. I had to tie it off and clip it. I then had to assist feed the first meal, but he ate ravenously after that first assist feeding. I don't think there is anything else going on with him, but he is definitely amazing looking, and I worked extra hard to keep him alive.

Great post SansCera. I can't wait to see updated shots of him as he grows.

Thanks for the info Tim. I've always been a sucker for a sweet YB and that's definitely the nicest I've seen. Congrats again.

I couldn't agree more! And Sans - you're lucky I didn't see him first! LOL I'd have been all over him!

Thanks! I find myself looking at him all the time

Whoo hoo! Don't some yellow bellies have crazy markings.

Thanks for the info Tim, guess I should have asked that same question

I sure had fun with this thread, this is a wacky looking snake and the guesses were SOOOO good

Thanks! I didn't even get to see a pic before saying yes. It went like...

Tim "Hey knucklehead I have a snake you are going to buy"

Me "Call me for payment"
