Is he fire or spotnose??

Hai guys.. I have a male ball that I bought with the name of fire but after I see carefully I saw the spot like the spotnose spot,but I didn't find the crazy pattern from the spotnose..so what do you think of him? Is he a fire or a spotnose? or maybe a fire spotnose?
Here he is..:taz:

Great lookin' Fire there!:D

Spotnoses have a very pronounced spot. Google spotnose ball and you will see the differences right away!;)

I produce normals that have that spot all the time it is just something that pops up once in a while. The spot nose morph is way more than just a spot on the nose. But you do have a beautiful fire there.

it doesnt look like any of my spotnoses here is some pics of my babies to compare

I've seen one that had spot like this that's why I'm surprised

How much did you pay for it? I promise you, no one is going to sell a fire/spotnose for a common price. ;)

It's not a spotnose....the normal ball python pattern can have many, many different aberrations...including the occasional spot on the nose. As for whether or not it is a fire...I'm not expert enough on them to recognize them all the time. Was it sold to you as a fire? Did you pay significantly more than what a normal bp would cost?

Yeah..maybe it's just the random pattern that seem like a spotnose spot..I paid it for a fire price,a pair for that at $1200..Ball python morph are pricey in my country..
Thank you guys:gj:

My breeder fire male has spots on his nose just like yours.

It looks like a nice Fire with a spot on his nose not a Fire Spotnose......

Those dots occur so often they have a nick-name. when they occur near the nostril(s), they are called 'boogers". My '09 male Pied has them. :P

What about this guy?

He is for sure NOT a spotnose, but the spots on the nose do happen.

I like that pic Pat...

Love that face Pat.

to the OP: he's a fire

The name doesn't really suggest much about the mutation now-a-days. Spotnose are ID'd using the Spotted 'crown' atop of their heads ;)
