    Question What's the fuss over bellies?

    Hi all

    Maybe someone can help out with this.... Belly...

    I read a lot on this forum people talking about the bellies of their balls, very often they are excited about this part of their balls.

    I know that the belly can indicate an impending shed, but what other info does one gain by looking at a Ball's Belly...

    Re: What's the fuss over bellies?

    A belly can indicate that there are some special genetics going on in the snake. Most normal Balls have a mottled belly, but many morphs have a clear/all white belly, flames going up the sides, or lines going down the sides of the belly. It's just something to look for in a dinking project or if you just want to show off your snake's belly.

    Yes, normals can have clean bellies, too
