New Fireball

This is the new fireball boy we picked up yesterday, he's in shed right now, I will get some new pictures up once he sheds.

Cool, I'd hook him up with as many pastels as you can. Those fire pastels are amazingly yellow.

aw! what a cute little guy! ^_^ Didn't you say you picked up a bigger fire girl too?

Not yet, I'm wanting too though. Bob was talking me in to it before we left the show. I managed to control myself a little... :P We have contractors coming out this week to quote building a larger building for us, so I am going to see how much over my budget they try to get me to go before I commit to the female.

Once he sheds I will put him next to a normal, that's when you can really see the difference. Depending on how big he is this winter he may be going with my pewter female, 2 pastels, and maybe a mojave or lesser.

Picture, perhaps? :wuv:

I Reeeaaaaallllyyy wish I could figure this fire thing out. :confused:

What I would really love to do, is an axanthic bumblebee fire. I would also like to see a spotnose axanthic bumble bee, but I don't have a spotnose yet. I've been watching those males listed on VPI's site, but I am way too broke to add a whole new morph project. :) Has anyone done a fire-spotnose cross yet?

Common q-dawg post up some pictures!!

Great snake you have there. May I ask what makes a fireball a fireball? I don't see much difference between it and a normal.

Thanks. The biggest difference is when they are next to a normal, they are much brighter. After each shed they are usually brighter than before. Once he sheds I will get him next to a few other morphs and post those up. Davey's Pythons had a pretty good display by putting the entire clutch together on display, it was easy to see which were fireballs and which were normals. It's one of the morphs that I would only purchase from a proven line though, kind of like yellow bellies.

That's awesome. So that will be mainly used to brighten up other morphs and enhance lines.

also they all seem to have a faded 'spot' on their heads. Some are more pronounced than others, but you can notice a difference. And that's a smoken little guy that you got there :gj:

Congrats!!!! :sunny: I'd also love to see some pix after he sheds!

I love Fires...


Congrats!!!
