    Normal or Yellow Belly??

    Hello,

    I have 2 pythons. My 3 footer has a really defined yellow on the sides which is completely different than my other ball. My other normal the color is more of an ivory regular looking...this one it's high yellow down the sides and in between the blotches it's yellow and not ivory like my other one.

    Maybe it's normal....but just asking if anyone knows. It's hard to tell from the pictures but in person the yellow is very bright.

    Thanks!!

    These first 2 pics are of my normal female. She has the white in between which is clearly defined...notice on my male his is yellow and has high yellow sides...????




    Now for the male...normal, yb, something else?

    The thing with normal ball pythons is that there is incredible variety. To me, it looks like a normal because I don't see any flames which are big indicator. Of course, I can't tell for sure from pics. You can always try breeding to prove him out.

    They both look absolutely normal to me. Check out this recent thread with pic's of a male yellowbelly.

    Also here's a link to NERDs explanation on yellowbellies.

    Thank you to NERD for putting out such a great resource!

    I think that Jon's Hunters Guide To Het Ivories actually has better information than the one at NERD.
