New Firefly

Possible het Axanthic or possibly a Het Red Axanthic? The former is a recessive morph that will need to be proved out. The latter is an incomplete dominant morph that will (should) be visible if present.

Beautiful snakes btw :-)

A Firefly is a Pastel Fire. It is a two gene snake that tends to not get an overall shade of brown anywhere near as much as a pastel, they hold their color better.
