Fireball question

I've been going looking for a fire for a long time but I get discouraged sometimes because they look like normals to me a lot of the time. Some will be bright, and then some look like a normal. Anyone know what to look for when picking one of these out, becuase I feel like people are posting pictures of normals and say there fires.

1) You could ask them to put a fire and normal next to each on a photo.

2) You could go NERD's webs-site and have a look at their fires - then you have something that you can compare to.

3) Or you could post a photo of the animal in question on this web-site and ask people about their thoughts.

as hatchlings they look similar to normals but as they grow they get lite!

I got to pick mine out thats the way I would do it pictures donot show the snake like in person.

The best thing to do is buy off of someone with a reputation. I have fires and some do look better than others. buy one thats Woes you. one that glows, not one thats a little brighter than a normal, you will be glad that you did!

Yeah, this is one of those snakes you buy in person, or from like NERD or wilbanks, or just anyone with a great reputation for that matter. Just wanted to make sure they do resemble normals a lot and I wasn;t losing my mind, because I've seen some really light fires in pictures, thanks for clearing that up!

Here is a post by me. The last 2 pictures are of a yearling male fire. http://www.ball-pythons.net/forums/s...d.php?t=108776

IMO the best examples of fires will be lighter than a normal, Have more flames than a normal, Have a very clean and clear belly with pied-like markings along the sides, have faded head markings and lip spots. Many are also ringers.

My female for example is a ringer with orange flames near her tail.

Some pics of my fires.

the main thing is to look for blushing in the black.

There really just fancy normals lol

For some reason I remember them being a lot more bright, but still cool I guess.

Thanks everyone for your pics!!
