This is one of the Easterns from the first clutched that I hatched out. Anyone ever seen an almost completely yellow belly on Easterns?

I hatched one this July. A case of possible parthenogensis as the mother had not been with a male for at least 7 years (maybe longer).
Where there is no checkering on the belly, the sides of the snake is simply a black stripe down along the side. The chain pattern on the back is mostly broken/abberant but then the mother was abberant like that too. Unlike the mother, the baby has nicer/almost normal chain patterns in the lower half of the body though.
Besides the obvious lack of checkering on the belly, she also has weird underside tail scales.. they alternate between groups of divided and undivided scales
