What specific visual evidence should a buyer request high-resolution photos of when shopping online for a Yellow Belly?

Underside shots to confirm belly pattern quality

Because the defining characteristic of the Yellow Belly morph is the bright coloration of the underside, prospective buyers are highly recommended to request multiple, clear, high-resolution photographs specifically depicting the snake's underside. A seller who resists providing these crucial views might be attempting to conceal a flaw, such as a belly pattern that is heavily smudged or carries undesirable aberrant markings. Confirming the quality and cleanliness of the ventral scales is paramount to verifying that the animal truly expresses the value associated with the Yellow Belly trait.
