Ok, my boys and I will oblige.
This is my breeder male vanilla, he's sitting at around 950 grams.
At first glance, he might appear pretty normal, but there are differences. In the second pic, you can see the faded head that is a vanilla trademark. He is a really good example of the morph.
Now, here is is next to a "pretty much normal as normal can get" male who's roughly the same size.
You can tell right away the huge difference in color. The vanilla is not only lighter, he has a plainly yellow cast to his body.
In this photo, you can see the normal carries a faded head as well, but you can still see the distinct difference between the two.
Now, this is him with my fire male who is about 800 grams. You can see the difference at once. the fire is also lighter than a normal, but his color runs towards cream and not yellow.
Here again, you can see the faded heads. But again there is a noticeable difference between the two.
I hope this helps in some small way.
Gale
