Hey you would of thought a yellow belly was a normal if you didnt know better   |
no paul, cause all the yellow bellies i have seen HAVE yellow bellies. |
Yeah but how many have you seen Lynne ?
For how ever many that have yellow belly there will be more that dont i would of bet.
Even the yellow on the belly is still subtle !!
Not everyone would go, gmm this has a yellow belly must be a morph  |
Just read this again, sorry for sounding a bit harsh, i really shoiuld read before i post 
Am not likee that in real life

The reason I ask is because i see snakes like this;
http://market.kingsnake.com/detail.php?cat=32&de=565072
and to me i doesnt look any different from my normals except from the $790 price tag!?
If anyone would care to explain it'd be good to hear. |
there's been dozens of 'morphs' that didn't actually prove out to be genetic but also a good number that obviously have, on some of these unproven new 'morphs' you paying for the gamble. if it pays off you have a mutation that cost you a fraction of the price it would of been for a proven line.

You laugh, but think back 15 years. There weren't any of these codom morphs about. Nobody even thought to look for variations in 'normals', yet they were all there, even back then.
I bet Eric thought he was dreaming when he saw white snakes hatch out of his normals

Not sure if it was Eric, but I read on one big breeders site - in the US - that the guy spent zillions on an Ivory from Africa and then found that if he had just 'dinked' with the two Yellow Bellies that he had in a rack, he'd have produced an Ivory.  He was somewhat upset ......

does look like either a VERY nice normal or some kind of morph to me.
Whether its genetic or not havent got a clue, but the yellow blushing down its spine is stunning.
However...spending what, £375 on it? Nahh, its not THAT nice
