Input needed fire, ghost, or other?

First off I'm mainly a lurker on here so let me say Hi.

A little back ground. This is gonna be long so feel free to skip to the pics :) OK so this snake has been bounced around through 3 people in my town over the past 3 years and now is in my hands. The original lady who brought her here said that it was a proven Fire, well after looking at the pictures that she sent (crappy cell pics, here after known as CCPs) it looked like a normal but I had her talked down to $80.

I was on my way to get her when I got a call that someone else bought her. It sucked but I wasn't gonna flip out over losing a "normal" female. A few days later a friend on Facebook who has bought a few snakes from me is posting pictures of his new "fireball" Ball python. Turned out to be the same one.

Well all his pictures were CCPs. A few weeks later he traded her to a friends kid for her pinstripe and that was the last I heard until the kid put her up for sale a few months back. I asked for pics and what do you know CCPs. I talked her down to 75 went and picked her up.

I figured 75 for a female her size (1600 grams) didn't matter if she was anything special or not, my Pastel het ghost was gonna need another girl about the time she came out of qt. They are actually in together now.

I am just now asking because well she made it through quarantine and is locked up so I might as well. lol What do you think?

Here she is, those are her actual colors.

I honestly don't know much about Fires but I don't think she is one, I am almost thinking some sort of hypo but any opinions would be appreciated.

Here is my Het pied girl on the same background just as a comparison.

Definitely not hypo, I'd say fire is a possibility but I can't be sure. I'm only sure that she's not a hypo. Congrats on the pickup :) and welcome to the forum.

She kind of reminds me of my male fire but I'd wait for more experienced opinions - fire still has me largely baffled. Some days mine look like fires, other days I don't really see it.. Great new addition regardless, 1600g for less than $100 is a steal.

I'm happy with her, and either way I'm glad I got her. My pastel is enjoying her right now too, They've been locked up for the past couple of days. :) The only reason I was wondering about the hypo is because of how light she is.

Is that the most recent picture of her you have? She looks too thin to be breeding. If you have a more recent picture, post that one! :)

I honestly haven't taken any pics of her recently, but she is much more round now :) I'll get some when I take her out.

Alright, that'd be great! Just wanted to double check because in her first picture she looks much too thin for the stress of breeding. Becoming egg bound is always a thing to consider with thin females.

Not a fire, not a ghost, looks like a nice blushed out normal female :gj:

Cool deal. Thanks, either way I dig her. :)

I do too, any female that has that few of spots would probably throw some very nice babies.
