Is this little girl a Yellow Belly??

crystalthomas Sep 18, 2004 09:45 PM

I just purchased this snake. She appears to me to be a Yellow Belly but I don't know all of the in's and out's as to what qualifies a snake as a "Yellow Belly." She also is a mid-body ringer. You can see in the belly shots the ring where it is very white and the white goes up each side. The yellow is very obviously yellow on her belly, but it is hard to capture with the camera. Can anyone tell me if this appears to be a Yellow Belly? I have various pictures in the Photo Gallery. If you go to Member Galleries and search for the user "crystalthomas" you will see 4 pics of her.

Thanks!
Crystal Thomas

yellow on the belly does not mean yellow belly. I know it makes little sense but pastels arent really pastel either and clowns don't have red noses : )
