Here she is last year with one of her Striped Siblings.

First off, great looking snakes. 
Does anyone else think that YellowBellies have a 'stripe' gene in their genetic make-up?
Reason I say is that YB X YB results in a perfectly striped animal (ivory), Amir's Ebony Ball has a perfect dorsal stripe. And last, but certainly not least, your SuperStripe YellowBelly has a perfect dorsal stripe, while it's striped (non YellowBelly) sibling has a broken, uneven stripe.
So why do the Pastel Yellowbellies not have complete dorsal stripes? My 'guess' is the typically banded pattern of pastels interferes with the YB's tendency towards dorsal striping.
Just some thoughts and ramblings.

Hey Jared,
the super stripe is gorgeous. What size (grams) is the snake in this particular photo? Thanks and take care.
Best Wishes,
Tony Pappalardo
