High yellow

High yellow is a term used to describe a specific color that some animals, such as snakes or lizards, can have. It means that the animal has a bright yellow color that is very intense, almost like a fluorescent color. The term "high" in high yellow is used to describe how bright and vibrant the yellow color appears.

Imagine if you were drawing a picture of a snake and you wanted to make it yellow. You might use a regular yellow crayon, but if you wanted the snake to be high yellow, you would need a special crayon that makes the yellow color really stand out.

High yellow is often seen in ball pythons, which are a type of snake that are kept as pets. People really like the look of high yellow ball pythons because they are so striking and unusual. But not all ball pythons are high yellow - some are a more normal shade of yellow or have different colors altogether.

So, high yellow is basically just a term to describe how bright and vivid a yellow color can be on an animal.
