Haven't seen too many up close. This one has that similar black on the sides. Opinions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

This pic has a better flash.

My Opinion It is NOT a yellow belly, Most yellow bellys have a lot of blushing in the black on the sides next to the belly. but breed it and you never know. Thanks

Here is a Unproven line of yellow belly

Thanks for the picture. Mine definately doesn't have that blushing like yours.

Sometimes it's hard to see the difference between pictures and it helps to quantify what the differences are. Just from looking at the yellow belly pictures I've noticed a few differences from normal ball pythons.

In yours the black edges run together and vary in how far apart they are in some places leaving only just the one middle scale white. In the yellow belly pics I've seen the edges to the white belly are more consistent in how far apart they are (they don't get closer together and then farther apart like yours). They leave more than just the one big belly scale white, like at least half the smaller belly scales on either side also if not all of them. And the edges also look like they are made of smaller than normal broken up black pieces pushed together, not big solid black lines.

Much appreciated!

That's not a yellow belly, they have clear bellys and a different pattern on the sides then the snake in the picture. There have been some good pics of some up lately.

This is two different lines that we aquired last year. They have been breeding there butts off, so maybe a few new things this year...

Thanks,
