    Question Is this just a normal female or a Yellow Belly?

    Hey everyone, picked this girl up today, she has yellow sides and its hard to tell but maybe some yellow on the belly? Thought I would ask because honestly I have never seen a yellowbelly in person... Let me know!

    I'm not seeing YB at all, I see a normal. Maybe better pictures in better lighting?

    "Yellowbelly" balls don't actually have a bright yellow belly BTW. Sure, some have a slight yellow-y color but most arn't actually yellow. I believe the same goes for orange bellies, they don't actually have a bright orange belly.

    Re: Is this just a normal female or a Yellow Belly?

    Took this from NERD's website "Yellowbellies exhibit a clean, unmarked belly bordered by a broken, tightly-speckled pattern where the belly & sides meet. A great number of these animals have a yellowish/off-white tint to the belly coloration, hence the name Yellowbelly. Many Yellowbellies also display extreme blushing or flames interspersed throughout the irregular pattern." Thought that was pretty similar to this female. I could be wrong, just curious. Here are a couple more pics, she didnt want to sit very still.... If she isn't a yellow belly is there something else she could be with the yellow sides? Almost pastel but not, ya know?

    I just want to make sure that everyone knows I am not trying to argue with anybody, just thought there was something to her with the yellow sides she has. All my other normals dont have that yellowing, and the center of her belly is pretty clear of pattern...

    Still not seeing a YB. For the yellow sides she could just be a bright normal, which I think she is just that. One of my normals has the bright yellow sides as well but she's just a normal too Either way, she's a nice girl.

    Definitely a normal.

    Normals have a lot of crazy variations.

    Re: Is this just a normal female or a Yellow Belly?

    She's a normal. I've got normals that also display yellowing towards the belly.

    This is what a YB belly looks like. See the checkering along the sides? Also in the first picture, you can see all the flames between the pattern on the sides.
