Belly makings?

[verhoykennels]

I HEAR ALOT OF PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT THE PATTERN /MARKINGS ON THE BELLY, JUST WONDERING WHAT IM LOOKING FOR OR HOW IM SUPPOSED TO TELL WHAT FROM WHAT? IM NEW TO THIS, AND VERY INTERESTED IN FURTHER EDUCATING MYSELF IN THE WORLD OF BALL PYTHONS. THANX IN ADVANCE!

Different morphs have different belly markings: just a few basics is that pastels should have clear white bellies without the little checker markings and yellowbellies have lots of "ticking" on the outskirts out the belly. Morphs in the BEL complex should have clear bellies too. The snake you posted has an average looking belly and looks normal from what I can see: normals can have clean bellies to checkered ones too. If you want to see if your snake is a morph I'd post a full body shot.
