A strange marking on a normal...

Okay, first off, this is Stick, my big ol' 8 year old male normal:

And he has this weird marking, just the one, not like anything I've ever really seen before. It's not quite a flame (you can see some regular flames in the pic to compare with), more of a 'flame with some extra white and black bits'. Any of you guys have a name for this strange mark?

I'm not really sure if this is the right forum for this, but since its got pictures, I thought I'd stick it here. Any ideas?

Just normal variation in coloring.

I see no strange markings, but thats a beauty you got there!

Very nice fella!!! Um, call it a "Extreme flame"?!?!? lol :P

Kinda looks like what some people call a "bullseye". Like my Elphaba has:

I second that.

Cool. I knew it was a 'normal' thing (Stick's not even remotely a morph!) but since none of my other 3 normals have it, just wondering how common it was and who else had a snake with a marking like it. :)

Well Stick is still a very handsome boy - and it's nice to see a big adult male - that boy's got some nice size on him! Have you had him since he was a baby?

Thanks! I've had him since he was a yearling; I missed the baby stage! :( He's still cute though, for a big ol' boy.

Very nice :)


Gotta love the variations in the normals.. I love the spot!
