Hi,
from my first honduran clutch (Tangerine abberrant x Tangerine) a abberrant animal hatched, it looks a little like the father (the black bandings are not closed at the belly).
Can anyone tell me if it's normal abberrant or if there is a special name for it?

It normal, its common for banding to be incomplete around the belly.

I've seen this a few times...but I personally wouldn't call it "common". I guess it just depends on how many animals you have.

Although I haven't heard of it in colubrids. Clean bellies like that are indicative of hets for some ball python morphs. You could bred some of the clean bellied ones to each other and see what happens.
best,
Vinny
