No mistake/error/etc in crossing your male Lesser with a female Yellowbelly. Someone would have crossed them eventually. I'm sure there are PLENTY of people who want to know what would hatch from Lesser X YB, or Mojave X YB, or Fire X YB, or Fire X Lesser, or Fire X Mojave, or Vin Russo's 'Lemons' X Lesser, or Lemon X YB, or Lemon X Fire, or Lemon X Mojave, etc , etc, etc.

And what about Butters? Is their 'super' form a white snake? Last I recall, the Bells had only hatched a small clutch (4 eggs?) from Butter X Butter; not really enough to say for sure if Butter is Dom or Co-Dom.

I wouldn't be surprised if someone else hasn't bred a male Lesser to a female Yellowbelly(proven CB line or unproven WC) this year.

I'm curious to see what hatches from Lesser X Yellowbelly. Honestly, I don't expect to see white snakes. Why? Ivory balls and the 'Leucistics' from the Platinum bloodline are so differently coloured. Comparing Ralph's Leucys and the various Ivorys (Yours, the Bells, Doug Beard's, The Sutherlands, Ralph's Lily) their base 'white' colouration is different, the Ivory has the colourful dorsal stripe, and their eyes are of different colours. I just don't think that Ralph's Platinum line Leucistics are the same mutation as Ivory (Yellowbelly X Yellowbelly, whomever's line).
Maybe you'll prove me wrong.

And so what if there's no 'white snakes' in the clutch. The combo of YellowBelly and Lesser should be some kind of nice.

And which white 'white snake' do I like overall? Ivories hands down! Ohhh, the pastel colours.

Thanks for sharing. Best of Luck this season. And DO keep posting photos of your collection; you have some beautiful animals. I'm anxious to see a new pic of the 'Marble Pastels'.

I guess it comes down to if RDR's Goblin is a yellow belly or not. He bred Goblin to Phantom for a couple of years and it looks like the two groups aren't compatible.

ok..well.if this wasn't Amir's picture I'd be asking what yellowbelly?.looks just like half or more of my normal females here???

.....her top is normal as can be?........

I know.I've seen yellowbellies and YELLOW bellies and ""yellow bellies""........

.........just thought their tops ' were more different than this...

Thanx........
good luck..I'm sure we'll see what they throw off.....

If I had the cash, Neil's YB would be Chad's YB.

Yellowbelly is the ultimate morph to date IMO.

Yellowbelly to anything is not a mistake, but you already know that.

Good luck, and make us drool over the offspring when you hatch them out.

Very nice, but I like the other morphs produced from the YB much better..Just my opinion. Too many white Balls out there (I still wish I had some, but white is white is white to me).

Ahhh, your just mad because I made you look like a fool when you said there weren't any gerbils in Africa.

Maybe you should learn something in the next few years.
