This is my pastel ball python when he was a baby. I am curious about the yellow belly gene and how it expresses on the side of the animal going down to the belly. He has a pretty white belly, but I heard that the pixelation on the sides changes with yellow belly, as well as the flames around the alien heads. Would this boy have any yellow belly in him and what ways are there to tell when looking at the sides.
Thank you!
Cute snake.
I don’t work with BPs, though I’m sure someone will come along soon who can give you first hand knowledge about the trait. In the meanwhile, here’s a link to the Morphpedia article about Yellowbelly. There are a lot of sources cited as clickable links at the end of this article, for a deeper dive.
