So! I need my bumblebee leopard het clown to a Het DG female. All the leopards have a BLACK belly, combos don’t. I was told leopards have a white belly, and it’s been very consistent in this male’s offspring for plain leopards to have it. I did sell some hatchlings, but I have one or two that still show the belly! I’ll get better photos. I saw Acid could be something to look for, but I’m not sure. I get mixed results talking about the leopard gene. I’ll take some pictures in a few minutes and post them here!

Leopard male
Forgot I had a separate clutch with leopard too!

Is it just leopard? I always see leopards in collections with plain white bellies, even the Morphpedia displays a white bellied leopard. These two are completely separate males from very different breeders, so I don’t think it’s related? I’m not sure what to think!

I’m away from home right now so I can’t get a look at my Leo male or send photos but he does have some pattern on his belly too, not as intense as yours though.
Hopefully others will have some insight because I’m pretty new to the morph.

Got another person saying to test for Acid on these guys! I might end up doing that lol

Oh I completely forgot to share a photo of my Leopard Fire’s belly!
Again its not as intense as yours but he doesn’t have a solid white belly either. If you feel shed testing is the way then go for it

Bumping!
DNA test showed no acid! Still no idea the cause, but I’d love to keep producing it! Sucks I don’t see it in combos
It could be polygenic to your line of leopard or it could be something different. I have a dinker gene in my collection that does this. One day I should probably get it out for everyone to work with but I don’t really breed ball pythons much anymore.
