redundant

sorry?

It's a yellowbelly because his dad was a super.

I have to go with: "that's dumb"

If it doesn't look or quack like a duck....

Seems to me like most (or all) of the morphs are visual (notably one named after something you can only see, being the color yellow). That snake looks nothing like a yellow belly.

Well the bottom line is if the daddy was a Ivory then the snake is a yb, just a poor example.

If that's the case, then the original poster is a teenage drama queen.

Without the knowledge of the father, I don't think anyone would call that thing a YB.

You got us good buddy.

After checking Jeremy Stone's site and looking at the YB he keeps in his collection, I'm feeling a bit more comfortable:

He looks a lot like my guy, whose dad is supposedly one of those Ivories that was produced by the first YB's that came from The Snake Keeper.

I'm still waiting on a response, but I'm feeling a little less like something went horribly wrong almost 18 months ago and I'm just now learning about it.

I disagree... the YB pictured there has many more flames, a cleaner belly, and the characteristic speckling along the sides of the belly. I do not see any of these traits clearly in the pics you posted.

BUT as I said before... breed him to prove it.

good job reading the thread, "buddy". Please keep your insults to yourself - they are unwelcome.

There is always the slim chance that it isn't a yb even from a super, if he had paired the mom to a Codom there could have been the chance it got one of the normals from it. Im not saying its likely, but you never know.

Did you mean to say "unless the female was bred to more than one male co-dom, there is the slim chance that this was not from the Ivory"?

That makes sense, since it isn't unheard of to have two fathers from one clutch, I just think how you worded it was a bit quirky.

I totally agree... when I saw the YB they had on their site they had more flames and you can clearly tell their bellies are yellow...

I mean if it is... it is... but I guess now will teach you a lesson on keeping receipts and records. All of my records have the head/neck markings of my snakes, just in case something like this ever happens...

You got one of the crappiest YB I've ever seen.. I guess you proved your point.. You have a YB that doesn't look like a YB..

Excuse me? Is there a problem? I'm fine if you don't think you like the way he looks but insulting peoples' animals is just rude.

I don't care if he turns up normal with an extra side of normal: I'm feeding him, and keeping him in my collection - and *I* think he's great.
