What, if anything does anyone know about the Black Belly?
There's very little information on them. I know that Ian G produced a Yellow Jacket from a pastel to a black belly.
I know it's where the darker scales meet in the middle of the belly, rather than on the edges - some even have referred to it as zipper belly. I've seen pictures of bellies posted elsewhere.
But I'm wondering about other markers, or any other information on them?
I've got a female who has black scales that meet in the middle of the belly for about 1/2 of her belly. And I guess I can can breed her to my pastel next season to see if she is a genetic black belly. Likely she's not - but I'd like to find out more information on them if I could.
This is the girl in question (I'll have to get belly shots later):
