Cool shots.. I love the albino!!

The bellies are extremely variable, even in siblings.
Here are 5 belly shots of sibling animals. No two are alike.

Thanks for the post. IMO ventrals are often overlooked but can be key to bloodline markers.
Here are a few oddballs. Most pics here are courtesy of Richard Evans formerly of West Texas Reptiles.

Great photos guys... I really like how variable the bellies are on these guys... It is interesting what you say about belly patterns being bloodline markers... Thanks for adding to the thread guys!!! Maybe some more cool belly shots will pop up in the thread...

Hi Kevin,
no, this one is part of an group that we call "Banana"
They have yellow and black checkard bellys, a high yellow backgroundcolor and light brown to green pattern.
I think similar to your "Yellow Glow"
