Vanilla?

I just got her tonight. She was sold as a vanilla to my friend that I got her from. What do you think?

Im not really familiar with the vanilla morph but i know theyre supposed to be very light in color. She does look really light, almost like a fire, so i would say theres a good chance she could be! :)

Color of the body is correct as far as I can see, but I am doubting the head color.
Would expect a spot with same color as body and this looks more like the head of a normal.
I have my doubts, but curious of what others think.

Its a bad pic because of the glare. Thats why I put the blurry head shot up. She has ALOT of blushing on her head. She wouldnt hold still for me to get a good pic tho

Haha I know the problem, they never hold still lol
Ok well if there is a lot of blushing on the head she would fit the description. :)

Google some images of Vanilla's, this snake doesn't look like any vanilla picture I find...

If you look at the first couple pics they look like what I have

Your snake does not have any of the head markings of a Vanilla.

Vanilla's have VERY noticeable head spots, and very light golden coloration. Yours looks like a very nice light normal, I have some myself.

Can you get a clear, natural lit head shot? I think the body looks right, and the color seems good. Do you know the pairing that made it? Does either parent have lineage to a Super or a Cream?

doesn't look like a vanilla to me. head gives it away if it is vanilla

I dont know what the pairing was. I was told the lad wanted to get into breeding so she had bought this and an axanthic. she later changed her mind and my friend got them both. He owed me some money so he passed em to me. The blushing on her head is bright (altho not as bright as her body).

I see blushing on the head, but Vanillas generally have almost a thumbprint of very bright blushing on top of the head. Could just be the pics.

So your best bet is to breed it to a Fire, Disco or another Vanilla.

The problem is that I dont have a need for her. She doesnt fit into m breeding plans Id just like to get a better idea of what she is for sure before I sell her.

That is a link to jkobylka's site. if you look at the middle vanilla, its head looks darker then the one I have

With no lineage and a weak head spot I personnaly would not buy her as a Vanilla.

And without knowing for sure you can't sell her as a vanilla. Subtle morphs are hard for me to distinguish but I've sat looking at this one and she doesn't scream vanilla to me. If anything try and prove her. If you need to sell her now without proving her she needs to be sold as a nice normal/dinker.

Sorry love, but I don't see Vanilla in her at all. I have several, in various shades, and they all have a very pronounced head spot/ blush.

Your girl simply does not carry that. She appears to be a very light normal, nothing more.

Homegrown. If I sell her Ill sell her at whet she is. Ill say that she was sold to me as a vanilla but the head blushing isnt there so shes a dinker mabey a vanilla. I dont believe in miss representing something to be what its not.

I don't have any vanillas...so my opinion is worth a grain of salt on it...but from comparing yours to others' pics of vanillas, I really don't see vanilla. Just a nice light normal.

While I can see some head blushing, I'm just not seeing the signature Vanilla head stamp.
