Fire Morph Question

[SajaRawr]

Hi guys, recently i saw pastel male posted on FB Group that started as a normal pastel male but with every shed he just gets lighter and lighter, now hes really really light in color, and i know the fire gene makes the colors more clear and all that stuff but im wondering if... the fire gene mixed up with some other combos is able to light up with every shed? just like the single fire gene

Maybe you can help me out with this one, by the way this is the male

[Eric Alan]

Yep! Probably the most desirable part about the fire gene is its ability to lighten/brighten the color of any morph combo it's added to. It's a great clean-up gene with a cool super form - a black-eyed leucistic (white snake with black eyes).

Looks like a firefly to me a very nice one

Thanks guys, the truth is that the male that i posted is nothing but a pastel ill try to get a pic of that boy when he was younger,

what i mean about the fire gene is, lets say i´ve got a fire pastel, the fire gene combined with the pastel will make a nice bright pastel right? but i mean does it works as the single gene? like getting brighter and brigther after each shed even when its mixed up with another morph?

I'm not sure what the heck is going on with that snake, but single gene pastel definitely isn't it.

That thing is crazy bright, and what's with all the smudging? It looks like it got manhandled by someone with dirty fingers lol. It is an oddball for sure. Breed and breed babies back! (That's basically my answer for everything morph related these days)


Edit: and yes, the fire gene lightens with each shed usually, even when mixed, to a degree. We're not talking about desert ghost color change here, but it definitely gets lighter/brighter.

fires get cleaner as they get older i have a het albino female that gets more yellow with every shed i was wondering if it was another gene at play maybe something new

Yea, I've definitely learned to appreciate Fires more lately then before.

I'd like to add my own take:

I see people saying how it changes, in their opinions. I always use the word "pale". Fires seem to get "paler" as they get older. To me, that doesn't mean brighter, but that might just be a personal issue on how i think about it lol. Fire babies are usually kinda yellow but they get paler as they grow. Imo, the paler the baby you find, the nicer they'll look as adults.

OP- that "pastel" is nuts! I'm not sure it's a firefly, bc the head doesn't look right, but thats a nice looking snake no matter what!

The blushing is very nice. Never underestimate the fire gene.

Fire bees for example.
