    Did you buy it as a fire. I have a few normals with head spots just like that. If it was bought as a normal the only way to be sure it is a fire is to prove it out.

    You can't just go by the head spot. Honestly to me it looks more like a normal. The color doesn't look quite right, the head spot isn't very pronounced and it doesn't have a banned pattern that is typical with fires. I'm also not seeing any flames that I've noticed are also common with fires. That being said only breeding will tell you for sure.

    If it is a fire, it is a very poor fire. Fires should be bright, creamy looking snakes. Not dark dull animals like this one.

    Here is my fire boy for comparison:


    He's the one on the right. Not the one in blue.

    Ive seen fires that didn't have the head spots. That's not a for sure thing. But even the ones that didn't have head spots were bright colored and had the banded pattern.

    It looks like a light colored Normal to me. I could be wrong, Let's see a belly shot.
