Description:
This
is definitely one of the best investment morphs in the Ball Python market! When two Yellow Belly Ball
Pythons are breed together you can produce Ivories. The Yellow Belly Ball python has opened up a whole new field of morph
crosses. When one sees a Yellow Belly Ball python in person there is almost no mistaking them, and yes yellow Bellies can
be graded just like pastels. Yellow bellies have a deep rich golden yellow color. Blushing that comes from the edges of the
belly up to the mid point of the sides. The belly itself is clear but also has some yellow coloration throughout. On the bottom
of the snake it has a marble like pattern tracing the sides of the belly from beginning to the end. Remember this is a general
description, each specimen will vary slightly. This is one morph that we have enjoyed since the first encounter!
