Nice BP!

I'm confused though, what do you mean poss fire? Meaning het fire? I'm pretty sure fires are co dominant, and they don't produce hets. He does seem to have a firey color about halfway down, but I'd say his head is too dark to be a fire.

Yeah. He is gorgeous snake, but I don't think it's a fire. Of course, I've been wrong before. I'm certain he isn't het fire, since it is a codominant gene.

Here is NERD's expo on fires. It might help to understand them better:

i say poss fire because it is a captive hatch and not captive breed and the dark head is due to me having duct tape holding my therm probe and he got stuck on it (no more of that now i just stick it in there and let him move when he crawls aross it) live and learn ill post a pic after his next shed

Ouch, duct tape! Poor guy. The darkness goes all the way down his neck, and he lightens up, but not light enough to be a fire in my opinion. Good luck proving them out though!
