Featured Morph: (April 2008):
Blonde Hypo Vanilla Ball Python

Common name of mutation:
Hypo Vanilla Ball
Python
Scientific name:
(Python Regius)
Details of genetics:
Recessive x
co-dominant mutation
Comments: The Hypo Vanilla is the result
of breeding a Ghost with a Vanilla to
produce Vanillas het for Hypo. Breeding these back
to a Hypo (or het Hypo) produces the
Hypo Vanilla.
Hypo Vanillas have been produced with both Orange
and Blonde Hypos. The one pictured above is Blonde
Hypo Vanilla.
The Co-dominant Vanilla gene
acts to reduce melanin and thus produces very clean
looking snakes. When mixed with the frosted Orange
Hypo trait, the results are spectacular.
The dominant, super version of the Vanilla gene, the Super
Vanilla can add another whole dimension to creating
clean, bright looking designer morphs.
