Is my Spider a Yellowbelly?

[Anthony Renna]

I picked this little guy up in a trade he is a spider 100% het ghost. When I looked at him I noticed he has yellow all along his sides and has a yellow tint to his belly. Figured he may be yellow belly if so I made an AMAZING trade if not its still a good trade for me. Any thoughts? If you need more pics I can take them just let me know what angle to take.

I'm seeing regular spider, the belly isn't flamed enough for me to think its a spider yellowbelly.

My spider has those yellow scales too (pics below). Hope more can chime in!

Looks like a regular spider to me.

Regular spider is just fine by me, he's still het ghost so there are 2 genes at least. I have to say his wobble is nearly non existent when he eats he has a super slight wobble. He was on live mice when I got him switched him to rat pups and trying to get him to take frozen rat pups from now on without the prekilled step in between(don't want to kill them if I can avoid it). If you guys have advice on getting a ball to take f/t without first doing pk id appreciate it. Already tried scenting with chicken broth with no success

^ I scent the air around the tub (or tanks - whatever you have) by heating up the f/t feeder with a hairdryer. I have more success if they come up to the front of the tub tasting the air, then I offer. Make sure the feeder is very warm to the touch. You can also see if the snake will take a f/t feeder overnight if you just leave it in their tub/tank: in front of the entrance to a hide or whatnot (when the snake is in the hide). Remove the feeder in the morning if uneaten.

Thanks daybreaker I'll give that a shot just can't tell my girlfriend what I'm using the hair dryer for lol. Forgot to say before beautiful spider you've got there. I was hoping since mines belly is yellow as well as the scales it would have that third gene but a two gene spider is still a good breeder and not to mention an awesome pet he has such personality

The name "yellow belly" really doesn't have much to do with color.. It's the pattern on the outer edges of their belly that gives them away. Plus flames and blushing on the higher quality ones. Often they have more of a connected or blackback type pattern too.

Ok thanks for clearing that up for me

Here is a google pic of somebody's yellow belly.

When a spider has the yellow belly gene it actually looses some of the "yellow" scales that spiders have and gains more white ones. And the spiders dark lines get broken up and the white sides crawl up towards the back more. Here is a google pic of a spider yellow belly.

Hope this helps ya.
