    Opinions Needed

    Greetings One And All

    So here is my problem.

    I am looking at buying a Ball Python from someone who is not a breeder, they do however have more than one Ball Python.
    This one is a female that I want to add to my collection.
    The guy says there might be Vanilla or Fire in the mix here.

    I personally think she is just a nice normal.
    I post a few pics and a belly shot.

    Please let me know what you think.









    Please note that all pics were taken in direct sunlight with no enhancenments.

    I stink at morph ID, so won't be much help. However, I'm curious about this one, since I have a Vanilla BP.

    My first thoughts were vanilla, but the belly threw me off, but only because Tyson's belly is pretty much all white...

    Anyway, sorry I couldn't help. Good looking boy any which way. I'll be looking forward to seeing what others have to say.

    Re: Opinions Needed

    My guess would be just normal. Do they suspect another gene because they know the pairing that produced it or just a guess based on appearance?

    Looks vanilla to me. Light color, nice headstamp and blushing, very few keyholes in the alien heads. I've never seen the belly of a vanilla though, so I can't say whether that's an indicator or not.

    It's a bright reduced-pattern normal.

    I don't see any head stamp to indicate Vanilla or Enchi.
    I don't see the flames of a Fire on the sides.

    Patterning and color reminds me of some albino Hets I had years ago.

    I can see vanilla. Light head blushing and color. Not enough blushing on blacks of dorsal nor flaming from the belly up to have fire.
