Fire?
Two people have told me that my Marshall looks more like a fire than a pastel. He was sold to me as a pastel, but I always thought he looks a lot brighter than a pastel. I figured he must be a super pastel, or something along those lines. What do others think? Here are some pictures:

Re: Fire?
Interesting. To me, his snake and my daughter's pastel look very similar. What am I not seeing when comparing the pic of his snake to my daughter's pastel?

Re: Fire?
Just been reading up on fires and pastels, definitely has more fire traits. Is this a good or bad thing?

Re: Fire?
Nice looking fire, not even close to a pastel. As for it being a good thing or a bad thing well that up to you. I prefer fires but thats personal preference.

Black eyed Lucy's are my favorite:) but I don't plan on breeding. Why would she sell him tome as a pastel if he's a fire? The girl breeds the snakes herself, so how could this be?

I agree I don't think she was trying to rip me off, I guess it could have been a mistake. Either way, wether he's a fire or pastel he's still fabulous;)

Thank you! Yes he's quite adorable! So from all the different opinions about what he is, fire or pastel, I think I have to say that he's a pastel. After all, he was sold to me as a pastel and if there was a chance he was a fire he would've been more expensive than 80$. Thanks for all the help and replies!

I don't know you guys, it really seems to me like I can see a faint brown out line on this little guy. I know he has some crazy blushing and flames, but some pastels do. Is it possible to get a clear shot of his head? Fires have a very clear head fade/head stamp. I agree he's really yellow for a pastel, but I do see them that color once in a blue moon. As much as I love fires, I hesitate to say he is one.

I can try to get a better pic of his head, but there is this one:

He just ate, so I will get better pics in a few days

Fire.
No if's, no and's, no buts. No pastel has that head stamp.
Sweet little guy, nice and bright like I like my fires to be. And you will be amazed at how he grows into those flames and that blushing. He's going to be killer when he hits about 700 grams.
Like my two:

The top two are my female, she's got a lot of blushing and flames. The male doesn't have as much, but he's still a hot snake to me.
Congratulations!!

Re: Fire?
Yours is definitely a fire. Beautiful! Lots of flames. You can tell yours is not a pastel because pastels at that age are BRIGHT yellow. Yours is more of a... Light brown/Creme/beige/ yellowish-brown color? Sorry I'm bad at describing colors lol. But it's definitely not BRIGHT highlighter yellow like a pastel would be
But (and it might be just me, or the way the picture is taken) he does look a little underweight

Re: Fire?
Cool, the guy looks like he needs some groceries in him ;) You'll be able to tell more for sure if he's a fire or pastel the older he gets :)

And yes, that was the day I got him and he has since eaten to meals and is already looking bigger

At 2 weeks, he should have eaten a lot more than 2 meals. My little high white pied girl has eaten about 9-10 meals in just under 1 month and she gained about 82g. Get some big rat fuzzies or some rat pups in that skinny little rail :P Nice snake btw.

Oh yes he's had more meals than two! Just since I've owned him, sorry for confusion :p

Thankyou! I figured he must be a fire, he has banding and blushing and his head is very clear, unlike pastels. And on top of that I got a very good deal!

The absence of noise? What do you mean?

the noise is how to describe the dirty effect on the snake scales, pure color is a total absence of noise. fires have usually a great amount of noise in alien heads its one of the fire characteristic specially close to the neck.

Re: Fire?
Fires are more yellow as babies then they get more pale as adults.
