Fire or no?

I got this female as a wc import and when i got her she was nice looking but she looked real dull. Then about a week later she shed and she looked like a completely different snake. The closest thing i could describe to her is a fire. Here are couple pics of her right before going into shed so she is kinda dull.

normal.:D:D:D

To me fires seem to have many different shades of yellows in the same snake. Not so much that, but they have that notorious faded dot spot in their heads. Yours doesn't have it :(

normal.. fires have clean belly and black eyes

I agree, the first thing I look for is the head spot.

She is lovely though! She would be a great pastel mate :gj:

Dont fires have that horse-shoe looking blushing on the head as well?

Fires have a cute lil imprint on the head and are kind of ghost like in their color.

Thanks for all the help guys. She looks completely different when she first sheds out which is what kinda threw me off.:)

She's a great looking snake in any case, I'd be proud to own her :gj:
