    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Calling all FireBellys BP's

Is it just me, or does it seem like there's quite a difference between the males and females markings along the belly scales. The speckling seems much more pronounced in the boy.
 
Gary,
Yellowbellies can be pretty variable. I don't have a whole lot of experience with them; but I have seen examples of combos that I was utterly unimpressed by, while knowing that they can be SOOOO much better. I have an adult female yb that isn't very impressive in the side view; but her belly shows the right markings...even if it isn't as obvious as some yellowbellies I've seen.
I'm not really seeing yellowbelly in the ones you posted, but maybe Jerry will find this and comment (he's a big fan of yellowbellies)

Thank you. The feedback is very much appreciated!
I see where Jerry asked for belly shots. Are the pics that I posted not showing for everyone?
 
I saw them...but I've had times when I couldn't see pics that other people could. If he's posting from work, photobucket could be filtered.
 
I realized that the limited view of the fire's belly could throw some people off, so I took another one before I brought her back upstairs.


Now this pic looks different from the first set of this girl. Does the color of the speckling go to a more uniform dark the closer you get to the vent?
 
On the fire, yes - she has darker, more consistent markings lower on her belly (what some people refer to as tracks).

Apparently the only thing close to a belly pic that I have. will shoot for a better one this evening
