    What is this?! lol HELLLPP PLEASE

    Ok here's the story (I'll make it as short & painless as possible lol): I traded one bp morph for a "Blackbelly" bp & a common boa, both beautiful, sweet animals and I'm pleased with them both BUT... this little fella looks like a chocolate & I'm not sure that "Blackbelly" is actually a proven gene bc when I googled it, I couldn't find anything on them. Can someone please look at these pictures & tell me what this is, if it's not just a normal & I was "had" lol. I'll appreciate any help that y'all can give me......

    Picture of his belly



    Picture of him with my normal female, he's on the left:

    Hi,

    I have no idea on whether it is one or not but there is definitely a morph called a black belly - it and a pastel make the "yellow jacket"

    How much did you pay for him? I don't think a black belly exists.

    a black belly does exist it makes a yellow jacket when you pair it with a pastel they are super hard to get ahold of a friend of mine ownes one and paid over 3500 for it but doesent look like yours the black belly goes in a line down its belly i think you got a normal with a belly pattern unless you got it from a well known breeder all i can say breed it with a pastel and see what you get

    I've only seen maybe 1-2 on fauna, and that was the price range ~$3500 or so.

    Thank y'all so much for the responses. I had listed a spider morph for sale on fauna & got a call from someone that was wanting to trade a BCI boa & a "blackbelly" for him, so definitely not a reputable breeder. He does look different than our 2 normals but I guess it was wishful thinking that he was at least a chocolate & I didn't trade my pretty spider for something I could have bought for $100 for the both of them Well in any case, they're both beautiful, sweet animals & we already love them so I guess that is that! Thank y'all again for making a forum newcomer feel welcome

    Chances are it's not the real deal. I have hatched a handful over the past few seasons and I believe they were just normals with "black bellies". So I sold them as normals. I sure hope they were......
