They dont hatch black and yellow. Their colour develops as they get older, and theres no way to determine this. Ask to have a look at the parents, thats usually a good indicator.

I believe this to be true. Viewing the parents is the way I would go about it :

Mate I personally think you should reduce your risk and buy from a well known source. Get confirmation of the lineage. B & G Jungles are a very specific snake and you want to make sure you get it right. $600 on a top hatchie is better value than $400 on a not so great one.

How much are you looking to spend?? The only way to be certain is too get one that is already black and yellow. Even if the parents are good its still no guarantee. As rastass said its worth spending the bit extra if its colour you are after.

Be aware that lineage isn't a good indicator. Some of the best B&G parents can produce some of the worst progeny and vice versa. Buy them with their colours already shed through! Any breeder of B&G's that sells them prior to this and sells them as B&G's is not worth his mettle.
