    Vanilla vs Fire?

    Ok, this is probably a really silly question to most of you...but how do you tell the difference between a vanilla and fire? IE: breeding a fire to a vanilla to make vanilla creams? Is it more obvious when they are next to each other? Am I missing something? Am I derpy? Wait...don't answer that

    It just seems like they are very similiar, so being me and untrained, was hoping for some pointers. Maybe some side by side comparison shots?

    Also!! What do you look for in a quality vanilla? I know what I like in fires, but vanilla's are still up for debate in my head. Pics are always appreciated

    Thanks!

    When tempted to fight fire with fire, remember that the Fire Department usually uses water.

    Thanks Malcolm! Very much appreciated.

    Maybe it is just in hatchlings I am having a hard time ID'ing? These are from the same breeder (His pics)

    Fire:


    Vanilla:


    I was looking more towards the reduced pattern vanilla's, I know lots of them have more of a busy pattern like your vanilla...but these two just made me go And the thought of trying to tell them apart in a clutch full of them...is scary...lol

    Malcoms pics help a lot. I always think vanillas should be more yellow an fires should be creamier. Im really picky about both, but you know that already haha
