    Unique blushing - Is this something?

    I was sure all three of my beauties were normals but people keep telling me my one male looks so different. His coloring was so dramatic after his shed it kind of took our breath away. He has remarkable blushing in every brown area and a significantly lighter head with almost a faded spot on top of that. I'm including the pic I have on my phone (since I'm at work) and I have my daughter taking some closer head pics and a belly shot for me and I'll include them soon. This was taken the morning I opened his tub and found he'd shed. There are so many morphs that resemble normals it seemed worth asking. I rescued my three snakes recently from a terrible owner--but that owner adopted this snake from an animal shelter. Considering that history I thought it might be possible that it was a morph?





    This is an awful pic but I called my daughter and asked her to take the pic for me because I'm at work. I work nights so its a little late lol.



    So what do you think? Interesting?

    Normals can have pretty extreme blushing. Some of the more subtle morphs come with blushing as well - fire comes to mind. Not all fires have headstamps and some normals do so it's really hard to make a positive ID on some of these rescues without background info. As a general rule, normal til proven otherwise. That boy looks really light though, I'd personally plug him into a female fire. Even if he doesn't prove out as a fire his blushing and lightness would only enhance your fire babies imo.

    I was told Fire but I didn't want to influence any response lol. I don't know enough about morphs and like you said, some of them are SO subtle. I really like the fire combos so picking up a fire female wouldn't be a harship Are there markers I can look for that might not be clear on the pics?
