    Re: Clean Belly

    It could mean alot of things. Though a clean belly can mean something special, it normaly will not unless you buy it as something special. Even if there ever happens to be a Genetic clear belly, would it really be popular without a super form?

    It could be a yb, but does its belly look anything like this:

    Re: Clean Belly

    Its the pattern that makes the yb morph, look at the speckling pattern following the clear yellow belly.

    Re: Clean Belly

    Clear bellies are part of certain morphs characteristics so it is always a point of interest.

    No. You can put your boots in the oven, but that doesn't make them biscuits.

    True Yellowbellies should produce more Yellowbellies when bred to a normal/snake not carrying the Yellowbelly gene, or Ivories when bred to Yellowbelly or Ivory.

    Do you have pics of said snake?

    No, I was saying that the pattern around the yellow is the way you can tell if it is a true yellow belly, and not to just judge it on the yellowness.
