Another yellow belly question with photo

Mk_Khrs Mar 29, 2006 09:45 PM

I've gotten to the point where I know my morphs, except YBs. They drive me nuts but that's beside the point. I picked this boy up a few months ago as a normal. He's a bit lighter and that's what caught my eye. A friend of mine has been swearing up and down he's a YB and she wants him. Now to me, he doesn't show signs of it but to shut her up once and for all I'm posting here hoping that she'll listen to those of you that know better.

Thank you and I've had that link bookmarked for some time. It's proven useful in the past.

MK...I do not think it is a yellow belly, But it may be, it does have some very interesting Blushing pattern on the belly. I can see where someone could/would mistake it for a yellow belly. By the way what color is it's tongue? If you could take a picture of the tongue that would help me. Yellow bellies have a huge range in color in my opinion, you have "ulgy ones" and then you have the "ok looking ones" then you have "without a doubt ones". I have seen several different ones and they all prove out to be HET Ivory. Your snake is definitly worth breeding. Hope this helps.

See, I don't think he looks even like an UGLY yellowbelly. He's a bit more gold then my others and has a lighter head. That's about all the 'special' I see in him. As for his tongue no, I'm not that talanted. Though it does seem to be a bit more pink then my others, then again I only see it for a fraction of a second at a time.

Forgot to mention he does have light eyes. They deep champagne, not black.
