Gene
Vanilla is a ball python color and pattern gene that can be hard to tell from a normal and looks much like Fire. It is incomplete dominant: one copy shows, and two copies make a Super Vanilla. It is grouped with Fire in the Black-Eyed Leucistic complex.
One copy shows Vanilla. Two copies make a Super Vanilla.
Breeders report that Vanilla is allelic with Fire, and one reference pairs it with Disco. The references disagree on the complex, so no locus is set.
Example: Vanilla × Normal gives about 1 in 2 Vanilla per egg (1/2).

Ball pythons commonly live 15 to 20 years in captivity, and some live longer. Merck gives that planning range, while the Royal Veterinary College says up to 25 years. Much older animals are documented, but an exceptional record should not become a promise attached to every hatchling. Create a free ball python profile so age […]
A ball python feeding and shed log is most useful when it records events without guessing their cause. Keep what was offered, when it was offered, what you observed afterward, and the date and character of each shed. Creatures supports animal records and care plans so future tasks and completed events can stay separate. This […]
