    need help could she be a spider yellowbelly???

    So the past few sheds my 2011 female spider has been showing more and more bright yellow by her sides and her belly looks more and more not normal maybe it's because i'm new to this but i was told she was a spider het for ghost when i got her, and she just seems like maybe something else is there.
    She's also really dark cuz she's about to go into shed.

    The yellow on a spider is normal.

    Yes it's normal. My husband's did it too.

    By the way, contrary to what it sounds like, a yellowbelly doesn't actually have a yellow belly.

    It might be more accurate to say some yb's do not have yellow belly's, but most of mine have had nice bright "yellow" belly's...



    As for a spider belly, the yellowbelly part is pretty easy to see in most of them...

    The yellowing down the sides doesn't mean much in determining a yellowbelly.

    To be honest, like pastels, yellowbelly's have been so poorly bred "imo" that 75% of them are blah, hardly have flames, and don't have the pretty yellowing on the belly.
    Unfortunately one has to be very selective if they want a nice yellowbelly.

    I actually had the privilege of holding an awesome spider belly last night . It was produced by a local breeder and her yb seems to really pull the pattern all the down through the belly! This spider belly had the spider web's all the way through the belly, some of the lines looked like a full pattern all the way around the snake!
    5.3 normals, 3.1 mojave, 2.4 pastels, 1.0 yellow belly, 1.1 cinnamon, 1.1 het pied, 1.0 pastel/yellowbelly
    Also: Burmese, Retic, RTBs, kenyans, dumerils, hognose, corns, milk, king, uromastyx, leopard geckos, bearded dragons, dart frogs, tortoises, tarantulas, cockatiels, reef tanks, dogs, cats, chickens, goat, rats and???

    A good yellowbelly can do that to the dominate spider trait

    Another pic of the one we produced last season, from our new line of yellowbelly,


    The top half was also highly effected, banding on a spider?
