aquisition..This is not a proven snake form any line of anything. He resembles a Vanilla but is much nicer than most I've seen. Just wanted your thoughts....TC

Very nice animal..any chance you could
post a belly shot?

Hey Tom,

Nice looking snake. Sure looks like the real deal.
Does he have light colored eyes or dark eyes?
Hard to say for sure from the photos.

I have noticed that Vanillas usually have lighter colored eyes.

...While the similar looking Fires have dark colored eyes...sort of like the dark colored eyes you would see on a Ghost.

Either way, I like that snake!
Hope you did well this season.

Hey Tom,

I have only seen a couple Vanillas in person, so I am no expert. The head pattern sure looks more like that of a Fire.

Good luck with him.

Without seeing the belly -- Fire. A good looking one at that!

The Avalanche has already started-it is too late for the pebbles to vote....

I think you're right...thanks...TC

Most of the bellies on Fires that I have seen are clear with distinct racing stripes on either side running nearly the entire length of the snake. Is this the norm -- with the exception being the belly like TC's Fire? Insights?

Only one of mine has the stripes like you describe, the rest look very similar to the picture Tom posted.
