Plans for this winter's breeding season.

I'm planning to pair these two this winter. Female normal and the male which I suspect is a fire. tell me what ya'll think.

Everytime he sheds he gets lighter in color. I know this isn't the right section for this question, just couldn't see posting the pic in more than one place. Anyway, here's the question, is it normal for fires, or any other morph, to get lighter as they age?

fires do tend to get lighter as they age, but sometimes you'll get normals that will do the same. but yours does look pretty firey. where did he come from?

He was a rescue, so I don't know for sure if he is a fire, guess I'll have to wait and see if it proves out.
