I don't mean to take away from ed's awsome snakes, but what are the characteristics of a yellow belly?? I understand that they have "flames" on their sides but couldn't that just be great blushing? I have always had trouble distinguishing them. Again sorry for distracting away from the pics. But thanks for the info.

Looking at a nice yellow belly you want to see a light head, a clear yellow belly and flames on the side. that can be varible as any morph can be. a yellow belly has a special look unto itself. they all dont have yellow bellies, some are just a clear white belly. after you have seen a few they are not hard to recognise.
