    Fireball x Pastel?

    I've seen a picture of a fire pastel but not much else. Does anyone have a link to more information or pictures for me? I think that come next year this could be my first breeding pair. Thanks, guys!

    EDIT: Facepalm. Fireflys. Lol. Well, still, anybody here have any opinions on them?

    I am a huge fan of the Firefly. Just picked one up for a future female breeder.

    Thread where I posted a pick or two

    Also check out www.worldofballpythons.com/morphs/... Site is undergoing maintenance right now though.

    Just a quick note.... It is a "fire ball python", or fire. Not fireball That would be confusing, almost sounds like a new morph name.

    Woops. Guess I like the named fireball rather than fire ball. Lol. I will avoid that in the future. I am 95% sure I'm about to pick up a pastel female and a fire male. I've also been offered an adult male pastel along with the young female pastel for $210 so not sure what to do there...I mean, seems like a good idea, right?

    If that's the case though, I would have to pick up another female for the pastel male to mate with...

    I think you should invent a line of fire and name it fireball

    Here's hoping a mutation can pop up down the line! I think that after this year is through I want to try for some fireflys and (if I can get an adult female by the time) black eyed leucistics! May be a tad ambitious for now, but hey, why not?The fire line really interests me.

    EDIT: Hey, Jess, I was checking out some of your pictures on FB after following your link and noticed you were thinking about starting a dubia colony. I would definitely have to vouch for them, I use them to feed my Mountain Dragons. They are quiet and don't need much space once egg crate/cardboard is added. I like to just cut up old boxes and poke a pencil or something through them all so that they stand in a line (I can show you a picture if you want) and it becomes a perfect place for them to stay while also having their mess drop straight to the bottom for easy cleaning.

    I'd personally pass on the male pastel and use that money on another female, unless you think you'll use a male pastel in future projects and this is a bargain. I love fireflies personally, and superflies are awesome! Fire also does some really neat things to the colours of other morphs.

    That's very true. I do need a fire female. With any luck maybe the guy who has those fire males would be willing to part with one for the right price. It would be nice to have a pastel male as well though. In addition, someone's offered me a normal ball for $50 who I could produce more pastels from. Ah, so many decisions. At the moment only the young fire male and young pastel female are set. After that...Actually, now that I think about it the fire male would have dibs on those females, so perhaps I will hold back.
