What Makes a Fire??

[badidea04]

What are some ways too tell Fires? Ive recently bought what was labeled a "fire". I see some similarity's then i don't. If anyone could help me out thatd be great. Id like to have the best idea on what she is, because if she inst a fire, the guy i got her from is gonna have some answering too do. She doesn't look like my other normal, or my big normal that i just picked up. I know the only real way is to breed them out. Any input would be extremely helpful[IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG]. Thank you.

The best way to tell, although not the only "Marker" is a FIRE shaped head stamp

The way to find out is look at the black bit on the back of her head. If it is shaped like a fire than yes it is, in your case i don't think it is.
Hope this was helpfull

I'm not seeing fire personally. Even normals and other morphs can have headstamps. And head stamps are not the only indicator of a fire.
Fires are lighter than normals and should continue to get lighter with each shed. The best one's I have always seen are a light cream color.
Not to mention blushing.




These are Gale's fires. The perfect examples of fires in my opinion.

So it's been a little while, and with Andrew bragging on his new little girl, I thought it's the perfect time to get some updated pictures of her remaining siblings.

This is her sister:





This is one of her brothers:





And this is her other brother, he's incredible!








Now, as proud ball python parents, we all like to brag on our babies and think they are the prettiest. But to me, these guys epitomize the fire morph. Bright high yellows, intense blushing, sharp contrasts, I don't think I'm too far off when I say these guys are what fires should look like.
