Who knows? Breed it and let us know what you get. It looks worth trying, especially if you don’t have a valuable proven genetic male to use instead.

it's a yellow belly

I got it because they had advertised 3 balls. I asked them to pop them...explained how it was done...they said 1.2. I said ok...sent them $125...they sent the 3 snakes to me PRIORITY MAIL...I almost had a coniption over that. They arrived 3 days later...all was good...confirmed 1.2. set the 2 femaels up...they ate and are still eating well...almost gave the male away...when it occured to me the side pattern...looked at the belly and I said oh my god!!!!! BINGO!!!!!!
It is a male...I am going to try and prove it this season.

thanks to all that looked.

I guess after seeing pics of 'yellow bellies,' I can't really tell from your pics whether this one fits the criteria. It seems that some people seem quite positive it is, but I have at least one snake with a white belly that has black patterning along the sides and they are not. With the yellow belly, it has more of a pied appearance with blotchy white and yellow on the belly and more of a checkerboard along the sides. It's hard to tell from your pictures, but it doesn't look like this is the case with your snake. If you could post some better lit pics of the belly to show the coloration, it would be easier to confirm. It's still a nice snake though...

well...it really does not matter what anybody thinks...it has to be proven first. I think it looks dam close...and the blushing on the sides that leads to the checkered or black lines is the key that i see thats why I put both pics. This snake is really white not a lot of yellow...more like what Vin russo has that produced blue eyed leucistics...accept his have more yellow on the body but white on the sides like this one. Rest assured if there are babies produced from him that match him...you all will know...thanks again

He's a nice looking snake regardless, so I hope the breeding goes well for you.
