Opinions on this snake?

This is the snake I was talking about in the other post...the one with the white belly.

thats a nice looking snake, I like the partial stripe.

but that isn't a traditional white belly.

when most people say a white belly all three belly scales are white.

it looks like just the center one is white on yours.

When you post "What do you think about this Ball?" that would make me think that you think there is something special about the snake. If you think it is something other than a normal, what makes you think that? It looks about as normal as normal gets from your pics....that is why I ask, and sometimes pics do not tell the whole story.

Well from what I've been reading, clear bellies often indicate something...like a recessive gene.

Sorry for wasting everyone's precious time.

normals can and often do have clear bellies and it indicates nothing. Now paired with other traits yes you may have a het. but a plain vanilla normal with a clear belly is nothing.

is to breed it. Quite a few morphs have turned up unexpected in a clutch involving a "normal".

Don't take any comments from this forum personally. Sometimes it gets a bit tense around here...

Best wishes.
