Fire?

http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b2...0518561050.jpg

Looks like a washed out photo of a normal.

That picture will not help in identifying the morph.

So with that, I would say No..

take a picture against a solid background with natural type lighting, no flash

I thought there was a hunter's guide on the fire, but I don't see it.

What are the characteristics of the fire? I know they're lighter, but what else? Do they have different eye color, too? etc.?

Flashes are balanced to daylight, meaning the color is the same. 5500-6000K

I could guess, but that pic is horrible.

My guess is "it could be", but a better pic would confirm.

Does it have the head spot, clear belly, ghost like coloring?

when I use a flash everything looks whited out and looks nothing like it does in real life.

How soon after hatching (like number of sheds) do fires take on that ghostly look?

I have a male I bought at a pet store years ago that has some fire like characteristics including a clear belly with some lined edges.

Figure he must have started out more normal looking to pass through as a normal.

Took me forever to breed him (mainly because I thought he was a she for years) but he was one possible father of a clutch this year. The clutch is between first and second shed and there is one male that sure looks like him and another few that I think do but none are nearly as bright as he is as an adult. Hoping after another shed or two it will be more obvious if any of them are whatever he is. Of course the best belly and brightest ones are males but I might have a female to raise up and eventually try to prove if they are anything.

All my fires have a long tail stripe but picture needs to be better,you can get a fire from hunting in lots of normals but you have to prove it by breeding for BEL! BLACK EYED

Most p&s are not good at exposing the flash properly. Basically, the flash is too powerful or to close to the subject making an overexposed photo.

I didn't mean to call you out but I see this "don’t use flash" thing all the time. Most professional photographers know the quality of light flashes can produce is amazing or we wouldn't use them.

My boy had that ghostly look from the time I got him at 75 grams, but he has gotten more ghost like and lighter as he grows.
November when he hadn't eat yet.

most people own p&s cameras. I know next to nothing about taking photo, but no flash is the only way i can get my pictures to look like my animals. I would assume someone taking pictures like his also owns a p&s camera

Mine is not a P&S, but I do get decent results by using the flash, and zooming in a bit from farther away. Good to have a tripod when doing this, as it can get shakey.. That way the light wont be as harsh. it also helps to have them on a solid color surface that takes up the whole picture. That way the camera doesnt have to think as much. This works for me YMMV.:D
