    Are all fire lines compatablility?

    Wondering if all fire lines are compatible and will make BEL's when crossed?

    I heard mention that some lines might not be compatible, and since I want to breed my fire male at some point I wanted to make sure this was or wasn't the case.

    I have never heard of a line that is not compatible; although, I have never worked with fires.

    There are people that claim they have a Fire, but may not....it just looks like one. If you buy one, make sure you ask if it's from a proven line.

    Re: Are all fire lines compatablility?

    I'm not worried about it not being a fire, just not sure about compatibility.
    I should say when I picked it up I was fairly certain that I'd not heard of incompatible lines, but after hearing it thought I'd ask.

    Re: Are all fire lines compatablility?

    I'm not even sure if many of the different lines have been crossed. The only one I know about is the Davis line and the NERD line and I believe they did prove to be compatible.

    P.S. Feed that thing.

    Re: Are all fire lines compatablility?

    I wondered that too. That's why I got both of my fires from the same breeder VPI. I have seen allot of people selling fires that look like normals to me so I figured with that morph you need to stick to reputable breeders.

    lol
    It came to me as a 2 week old unfed 55 gram hatchling
    I attempted to feed it after a week chilling in it's tub, and for 2 more weeks attempted with no luck.
    It then was force fed a pinky, and has since ate twice on it's own and is 79 grams and going into shed

    Re: Are all fire lines compatablility?

    Why would a reputiable breeder sell a none feeding hatchling out of the egg thats crazy,I hope you didnt pay top dollar for that it takes some work to get a stressed hatchling to eat .I would never sell a hatchlings that has not fed at least a few times

    Re: Are all fire lines compatablility?

    He's eating fine.
    I have started my own hatchlings before and felt confident in my ability to start him
    or I wouldn't have done the trade.
    It wasn't from a "reputable" breeder but a smaller local person who will back up the animals genetics
    in a heart beat, so I did the trade.

    He is doing fine and has a good feeding response now after eating twice on his own.

    You presume the snake was stressed out?
    Actually I believe it was held too much before getting it feeding.
    When I got it he mentioned it liked to be held.
    I handle my hatchlings as little as possible till they eat a few times, maybe it's just me, but it seems to help them start better.
