Vanilla opinions?

[m00kfu]

Nice looking pythons Chris. I'd hazard a guess that if any of them are het hypo it's the girl in the middle. I have several 100% het hypos that obviously carry the gene. It's easier to deduce because of their overall lighter appearance and color. I have a Black Pastel het Albino possible het Hypo that's several shades lighter than all his siblings with a high orange dorsal striping. I'd wager a decent amount that he's het hypo as well. I'm a pretty firm believer that most possibles can be earmarked one way or the other based on their overall look compared to clutchmates.

I was leaning towards the het hypo explanation but wasn't sure if it would wipe out the vanilla head spot so much. Just to throw another monkey wrench in, here's a picture of the sire with a pinstripe...



Definitely the brightest vanilla I've seen, and the breeder that produced him doesn't have any hypos in his collection that he knows of... You can see he's just as bright as the girl in question, but has that distinctive head spot vanillas are known for.

I havent the slightest clue...but i love the bottom right yellow belly in the first pic!

That's the girl, and she's staying right here also. Both yellow bellies were smokers though, they came from a Barnhart line black pastel yellow belly.
