What's the significance of an all black belly if thee is one? Is it a marker? What if the animal is het?

There is currently no known significance to an all black belly other than maybe a type of locality specific gene issue. It is not currently known to be a marker of any sort unless when dealing with the details of the Anaconda trait but there's other markers one has to consider for Anacondas as well besides an all black belly. I have several hognose that exhibit an all black belly and they are, to my knowledge, not carrying any special genes other than the ones for their black bellies. I'm currently in the process of breeding an F1 pair of black bellies together to try and determine the hereditary nature of black belly genes.
