A little Morph help
Yes, it's one of those threads... Sorry -_-
So you might have seen my thread posted last week about my normal gal, Gaia http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...etween-Normals
She's a very light normal, my first ball python with no background information on her. However, she did not start out so light. The color change lately has gotten very noticeable and I posted about it with her compared to a few other normals in my collection. I suppose I did not notice how striking the contrast was until I saw it against another BP. A post on the thread mentioned she might be Vanilla. I have very little experience with the vanilla gene, having only seen it once in person (hatchling). I have also seen subadult sized fires, as well as hatchlings. The look was not quite the same, but again I have no experience with the that gene in my collection either. So I have nothing to really compare to. I am now rather regretting the vanilla hatchling I passed up a few months ago!
She is currently sitting right at 1000g. Clear belly with somewhat het pied type markers. Every shed she gets lighter and brighter. Last shed was right about 3 weeks ago.
She's labeled as a normal in the collection and will be unless proven otherwise, but since it was mentioned I can't get it out of my head. I've been staring at all the vanilla pictures I can find. Personally I'm on the fence.
So here I am to ask you all if the idea is off its rocker or not? Vanilla maybe or no?
What say you?!?
The day she was brought home, terrible lighting and I think a flash

A few weeks later (I have very few shots of her as a hatchling)

Spring of this year, about a year old

A belly shot from near the same time

And last week.

Re: A little Morph help
I am leaning toward normal. I am excited to hear other peoples opinions though.

She almost looks like she is glowing to me.

Re: A little Morph help
1000g and never been paired. This has also been a pretty slow progression. Almost 2 years worth of lightening up.
