I actually almost bought one back in the early nineties that had that. I don't think it is a certain genetic trait though. My friend who produced my splendida shown has always produced both black bellied and checkered bellied splendida babies.

I have wild caught splendida from Black Gap, Marathon, Alpine and Langtry Texas and they all have solid black bellies. I thought all splendida had this trait. All the babies I've produced have blackbellies as well.
Coach, did you get any black with white patterns dorsally out west? Still lookin' for a girl for this guy, Marathonish!
