The yellow belly morph is not necessarily about the yellow of the belly - it's het for ivory, and happens to have a perfectly clear belly and a slightly brighter pattern than the average normal. Yellow belly just refers to how most of the snakes tend to have a yellower belly than most normals, not that the belly is the morph in and of itself.
A snake with a yellow belly is only a yellow belly if it makes ivories. A snake could have a belly brighter yellow than a canary and it still wouldn't be a yellow belly if it didn't make ivories.
