    The way i would tell the vanilla would be by the lighter scales running in a stripe along the tail end of the snakes back but due to the over exposure/colour saturation in the photos there isn't much to go on.

    Same: Top Fire; Bottom Vanilla.

    Reasons for choosing: Process of elimination.. Spot on head mostly common in Fires.

    Top is the Fire and the bottom is the Vanilla... sorry about the over exposure But you can see how easily these 2 can be confused, especially if just seeing 1 by itself.... Thanks for checking out the pix... I hope everyone has a safe and happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Re: Can you guess which is which?

    Those are both really nice examples...really nice. Are they a m/f pair?

    The fire's pattern is awesome...I love the dorsal striping and the big holes in the pattern on the sides. That one's going to look really awesome as an adult.

    It really is tough to tell in a lot of pictures, but I think they're pretty different up close. Easier to tell apart once you've seen some in person. Before I got all my vanilla stuff recently, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to tell them apart if I were to produce fires and vanillas in the same clutch, but I doubt it'll be a problem. They just have a different look to them.

    Best way I can describe it...fires are more of a blonde colored snake with strong blushing as they grow. Lighter, but not so golden. Vanillas have slightly creamy look to the color, not so much blushing, and seem to be a litte more golden.

    The head markings make me beleive that the top is fire and the bottom vanilla.
