undersides yet but I will next time I'm doing photos.

The bellies on the Hytecs are actually very different than the bellies on the regular Aztecs. The regular Aztecs have an incredibly bold speckled belly. There are dots all down the bellies of the Aztecs almost in two lines down either side of the stomach. The dots are good sized and more like actually more like small circles than speckles.

However, the bellies on the Hytecs are extremely clean - similar to Hypo Boa stomachs. A little bit of patterning comes in on the underside where the tail saddles start and all of them have extreme patterning on the underside of the tail area past the vent. The patterning there is either a stripe or several squares/rectangles creating a ladder-tail like look.

Some of the Hytecs have clean white bellies while others have clean bright pink/red bellies. The contrasts in stomach color and patterning between the Aztecs and the Hytecs are very interesting!

Thanks,
Celia
