Is she a Gravel???

Ok so I just picked this girl up as a possible Gravel. She was from a Highway breeding so she is definitely either a Gravel or a Yellowbelly. What do you guys think? Would love some opinions from people with experience dealing with Gravels.

I had a buddy interested in that same one. I havent worked with gravels yet but will probably see some next season from my highway female. Yellowbellies and gravels are hard to tell the difference and i think it would be easier as they are babies to see it better. I do know you got one heck of a deal if it is a gravel. Goodluck on the breeding!

Thanks man. If she proves out I practically stole her.

I know man. I had a breeder tell me that gravels dont have flames going up the side?

Im not too sure, I have no experience with Gravels. The one on World Of Ball Pythons has the same flames though.

Well worst thing that will happen is it is a YB and you breed it to a YB and make ivories! Not too bad.

I dont have any gravels in my collection either but have seen lots of pics. In my opinion she looks like a gravel. I just dont see the yb in her. All my yb have that intense speckled belly & the yellows. Also most yb have the more intense flames with yellows or some type of color in them. Then again there is some low expression yb out there. Her belly to me doesnt look like yb & her flames are like smokey, not yb ish. Good luck. Update us when you get a clutch from her.

Chris, I hope you are right. I will be pairing her in November and will definitely keep you guys updated.

Looks YB to me...but that's just opinion. I've only worked with YB and sparks. Gravels have never seemed like anything I'd be able to determine as different from a normal. That being the case, yours seems to be YB. Hope she proves out for you.

for a comparison
