We purchased this female a little over 2 years ago because we thought she resembled a het red animal as well as a Yellow Belly but had a different belly which is very busy with pattern more so than a normal YB. We call her Busybelly for this reason. Last season we bred her to a YB with no eggs produced. This years we bred her to our spider male and received 9 eggs. Well we did not get any spiders in the clutch but all 9 animals look almost identical to mom with the same pattern, blushing and the same belly characteristics. There is one that looks like a cross between mom and a YB as it shows more blushing and belly like a YB but the alien head pattern like mom. Here is a pic of the mother and the clutch of babies (less the one that has not completely come out of the egg yet). Let me know what everyone thinks this might be. She (and the babies) might just be exceptional normals but are very interesting.
