yellow belly? DUW???

[Christina]

i know that i already asked about what kind she was, but i saw that thread about yellow bellies, i saw some similarities in my snake with those pictures. i also understand that it is highly unlikely that my reptile house would sell something as a normal while it really was something else and that this yellow belly trait has to be proven. i'm not trying to pass her off as something she's not, it is just really frustrating not knowing when she was born, what kind, etc.my parents bought her for me and didn't get any of that information. right now i consider her a normal, and that is what she will most likely turn out to be, after the help and consideration from you fine people. here are the pictures i took today. i tried to take pictures according to that thread...

here is her head


these are the pictures of her flames- she's got one in between every yellow band.



here is her stomach. speckled.



the only thing that makes me really doubt it is the lack of blushing. she has two very small spots, but they do get bigger as she sheds and grows. i can kinda see where they may be developing, but i'm not exactly sure.



i hope that this will help you to help me! i really love this site because of all the reliable information from you guys. i've learned so much from you all! any and all input is highly appreciated!

Hey!
You have a beautiful snake! But im sorry to say it is not a Het Ivory (Yellow Belly) The stomach pattern is wrong... look at the guide again and look closely at the stomach pattern. They defiantely do take time to learn the traits... best to see one in person!
Hope this helps

Christina, Heres a picture of one of my adult yellow bellies, compare this to your ball python...see the difference?

[Christina]

yes, the stomachs are a lot clearer, and the speckling is along the sides a lot more. you guys were right, that was the dead give away.
