    Sweet trade if you ask me
    Traded my 10' male lesser and 2 female normal breeders for 10' 1.2 fires.

    I put a normal in the middle of them to show a color difference... and it doesn't look like much in the picture lol. I have no idea why photobucket keeps turning the picture sideways

    Congrats! :D ... with pictures it's all about the lighting. Too much = bad, and too little (like in this case) = bad too lol. It's hard to get it right to bring out the true colors.

    i don't have enough light for the picture? i guess ill screw in that other bulb i leave out cuz its too bright in there with it in lol. ill have to play with it, I was trying to find a white balance setting that worked well. but the white keeps showing up too bright or too yellow.

    That is not all that is what a Fire is.

    Even with the pictures in low light, there should be a stark contrast between the colors.

    I would hazard to guess you were had...

    local breeder from around here, name is Mike Hirzel, its got to be the pictures the only one I question somewhat is the male, but he was thrown in for free anyways (just because he has a weak attempt at a dorsal stripe). the females are like every other fire i've seen, i don't question them at all.

    The light seems a lil dim to me. Take some pictures outside, again with the normal, and I think you'll get a better contrast.

    I don't know much about the morph, but they look pretty to me! :) The last female in particular is nice, and looks like other fires I've seen. Did you try "auto-fix" on your photos after uploading them? The white balance looks a bit off, and that would definitely brighten them up. But as somebody else suggested, outside pictures should give everyone the best look at them.

    I've talked with Hirzel a bit. He offered me a pair of those fires for $250. He wanted me to come see them in person, but I never had the chance to as of late.

    The head spots on those are all wrong from a fire. Also, all fires do not have a pronounced head spot, it is sometimes very faint, but it will be in the same area of the head and shaped the same. Some fires don't have any dorsal stripe.

    No stripe. (now belongs to JASBALLS)

    I'm not sure what they are.
    I was bored so I tried to correct the photos to what I think better represents the animals in question. They're not 100% accurate I'm sure but they are closer than the originals.

    Guess they could be fires but I personally wouldn’t think so. I have noticed a big difference in the quality of fires though. Here is our male from BHB

    the bottom one COULD be a very low quality fire, but the other 2 are normals... i was going to post this earlier but i didn't want to be the bearer of bad news :D

    That's what I would say also, I don't see fire in any of them except possibly the bottom light one and even then the head spot looks off?

    Maybe the pics are just dark, have any belly shots of them?
