Just for Fun...Here is a photo of my Double Het x Double Het clutches together:

You will be seeing each one of these snakes post-shed in upcoming Snakes and Stones photos.

I was mapping out some of my matings for next season.

I know that Gravel and Yellowbelly are supposed to be nearly impossible to distinguish from each other, however, if you compare clutch mates--that is a different story.

I am only planning on breeding Het Gravel males next season. I have two males Pastel/Lesser/Het for Gravel or Yellow Belly.
I was looking at them, and c'mon: 'Indistinguishable?'.
Maybe in more complicated combos it gets obscured, but even with Pastel and Lesser in the mix it is pretty obvious to my eyes now:

Ignore everything else and look at the difference in yellow and black pigment saturation between the two.
Yellow Belly has more yellow. Gravel has more black. Simple.

BP = 66% Het Clown/66% Het Lavender Albino (Double Het parents - genetics working as expected)
