not sure--never seen chucks paints. I have heard him write about them as if they do not look like much on another board, but he says they are not the same thing and his word is good enough for me. My het sentinels are obviously different, even if it as a yellowbelly would be considered different from a normal. I do agree that my adult sentinels as babies looked far different than his babies paintballs. Similar pattern, but much more intense coloration on my adults when they were babies than the pictures of his hatchlings. I always thought it was a difference in individual examples possibly just from different bloodlines, but I am sure more will be revealed as my clutches hatch this season.
I have always thought this about the het pieds for a long time. I was checking for eggs and looking at my adult het pied females, and just could not help but notice that they just looked different from a normal. Not just belly stripes, just a different appearance. Never gave it much thought.
