Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I think yellowbellies are pretty cool, but what can I breed them to. Will I get anything different if bred to other morphs? Thanks

and it is great to ask others opinions, thoughts, and whatnot. All of the questions you have can be found right on these very forums by doing a search.
You can better understand 'co-dom' and 'recessive' traits by doing a search on google. Those same genetics work in many animals other than snakes and there are some great papers written by Dr's and Vets on this subject.
I would go to some of the larger breeder's page/s to better understand what you get when you cross certain morphs.
Prices of thermostats can be found by doing a search on google as well for the brand you are looking for. You will come up with many wholesalers/retailers that sell those products. You can also find them by going to the heating/lighting classifieds on this very website to find who sells what and for what price.
There are care sheets out there, all over the internet, on how to keep snakes, propper temps, and feeding routines. How to handle a snake that is not feeding, why it happens, etc.
JUst giving you another option as it is awesome to do some reading about a subject one enjoys.

But now I will ask any question I want and if you do not want to answer then don't

not sure why you are getting so defensive. I was simply giving you other options on top of gettig info here. Thought I made that pretty clear by saying it is great to ask questions.
Now that you have changed the tone of the conversation, I would say that if you have done some research you should ahve already found the answers to your questions that you ask.
Now that we are over that.....I say again, it is great to ask questions and I encourage people to do so. In fact I have even given some answers to your question/s. Most memorable was the challenge you were having with feeding a new snake as I know it can be very frustrating. I was one of the first to give you some ideas if you care to go back and re-read that.
Enjoy the weekend, no need to get uptight.
Take care!

I'm not sure why you are replying in such a defensive way. Brian was more than cordial and professional in his response. All he stated was simple netiquette. These are the same steps you would take on any forum. Research first, and then ask. Getting defensive can only serve to alienate your cause.

I agree, to acquire some info you need to do some legwork yourself. It will make you retain it better and understand it more completely. Most everyone here can attest to this I believe.

It is so amazing how many people here seem to want to help, but come off sounding like they are arrogant and you are wasting precious space on the forums by asking questions. There are lots of various combos that create new morphs, I don't see why the questions can't simply be answered. I think those who feel that these questions should be answered by doing google searches, should keep going through the treads until they find something that is worthy of their time. I personally am always interested to see what others think when questions are asked, so please do not be deterred by those who have an ego to feed.

All great teachers say the only stupid question is the one that goes unasked. Maybe we all need to remember that we are teaching our potential customers how to properly care for the animals we would like to sell to them.

Just my opinion.

Well if you breed two real yellow bellies together you could make Ivories. Or you could make pastel yellow bellies, which as far as I have seen, keep their bright colors even as adults and don't turn brown like normal pastels.

Pretty pretty

Since you have so many questions about potential offspring from specific pairings, it would be a really good idea to learn how to draw Punnett Squares. This is a website with very simple instructions and examples:

http://www2.edc.org/weblabs/Punnett/punnettsquares.html

It's a really cheesy website but it is by far the EASIEST guide I've found.

Once you know how to draw a Punnett square, you'll automatically understand how and why you get certain offspring from certain parents. All you have to know is whether a morph is dominant, co-dominant, or recessive ... and that info can be found out on this forum or on ball python breeder sites like NERD.

I think super stripes are pretty cool so are ebonys Ivorys . You could cross them with anything you wanted Pin/YBs ghost/YB's. I think there are so many ways to make crosses with these.......By the way that YB/Pastel is Smoken..!

4 Yellow bellie Females in one clutch. I had to keep two of these. there 250 grams allready..

and one of there sisters
