This link should help you out in your quest for knowledge.

Just checked that out and I think that he has a normal couple of ladies... He ended up getting them for free because one of the sisters had major attitude when she was a baby... The breeder did not want to try and sell them since she did not want to give any one a "bad egg" a few years later and she is a pretty cool little lady.

im not really big into bp morphs but i wouldnt think a breeder would give away 2 fires cause they where bitters, i think fires are still like $300 not sure tho but 3 years ago they where probably pretty pricey, i would say they are probably normals

3 years ago they would have been several thousand $

i think lots of people think they have fires because pics just dont do them justice but in person there is no mistaking them, if it looks anything like my male it might be one, this guy is from the origanal davies line and hes smoking!

Post pics of the snakes in question:gj:

yeah!!! let's see some pics

I will see if I can get pics of his ladies...... and after actually looking at them this morning and comparing them to the one above... I think that he might have a couple of fire ladies..... He ended up paying 50 for Mel ... and I am not sure about Addy..... She was the one with the attitude..

There is more to a fire morph than looks they have to be from a proven line that produces black eyed lucys,when adults they look very different as babies they look almost normal.$300 is cheap most male sgo for $400 to 600

normals

normal.

where did you get it from? and how much did you pay? that will tell you right away.

His mom knows a breeder that had a very snippy baby girl (the one in the pic).... money I am not sure about...

Some fires are just nicer than others, this is my best female ...

Thats what I ment to say as babies they are darker & almost normal looking as the grow they become brighter with every shed.I sure there are some BP sold as normals that are fires but you can never know till the are proven to produce Black eyed lucy's.I would never buy one unless it was from a proven line.

heres a pic of her 1 1/2 years ago... still a very dark pic.. she is so light in color she is almost yellow.

Very pretty normal girl.

Definately normal. If you feel otherwise get a true fire male and breed it to her. You will find out on the first breeding.

Just wanted to update on this topic.... We just talked to the breeder of his girls.... The mother was captured in Africa already prego with his girls......

Finally got a couple of pics of the girls......

Thank goodness that there are no plans for breeding the two ladies then.... There is no guarentees what they are since the mother was captured already prego in africa,.... but they are beautiful ladies... I love how the alien heads are only on the front half of the body and then there is the reduced pattern on the back half.

Oh ... and this was just an update,... since they were CH I am going with the thought of them being normals....
