Yellow Belly ?????

[misterman]

It's a yellowbelly, it has flames between almost every alien, clear belly with checking and the typical head spot.
Not the best example maybe but looks lik a yb to me.

There's no flames in the first pic.
I still say it's normal.

I'm really no expert by any means, so this is just my personal opinion from what I have seen.. I would not think this is a Yellow Belly from the pictures alone. It's very difficult to determine by these pictures. It could just be a nice Normal with many flames and a clear belly, or it could be a poor example of a Yellow Belly. Hopefully more experienced people can give their input here.

Were you sold this snake with the impression that it was a YB or did you buy it as a Normal??

I can see 7 flames at least in the first pic... and the second shot is what really shows this snake is a yellowbelly to me. Not all yellowbellies have that pixely side look, some have rather clear bellies. Breed it to another yellowbelly and make some ivories, easiest way to tell for sure lol. I'm still wagering yellowbelly, curious now as well if you did purchase it as a yellowbelly or not. I've been wrong before, but I like to think I like yellowbellies lol, and I would say thats a nice one too haha! ~Caylan.s.~

I see this too, no doubt in my mind it's a yellowbelly

Not all yellowbellies have good flames or head spots but the PIXELATED belly is a MUST. If everyone went around selling nice flamed normals with head spots as yellowbellies there would be a lot of fraud going on.

Sorry but I still say its a really nice normal. It almost looks granitey.

Definitely a very nice normal sorry.

With those flames, it could be a yellowbelly, but the belly is not quite right to me. Not all yellowbellies display all the characteristics in a classic way, but there needs to be a hint of them.

Here is a proven ivory producing CH yellowbelly male I used to have that does not have a textbook belly. Yet, you can see a suggestion of the pixelation trying to come out.




There were those way back then that doubted that mine was a yellowbelly until he produced an ivory for me, so, if you think you see it, breed him and see what happens.

[Inugohan]

You can see this snake trying in the same way, especially in the first picture. Yellowbelly, first and final answer. Breed it make sure, but thats my thoughts. Great pics MakiMaki! ~Caylan.S.~
