Fire vs YB question

[Mikkla]

Can anyone post pics of a fire vs a YB hatchling?

[Mikkla]

Or if anyone can point out some differences between them?

I'm surprised that there isn' a Hunter's Guide to Fires. Fires won't have the speckled pattern around the belly like YBs, so that's a distinct difference right there. I'll let someone who owns Fires give you information about them, though.

To my eye, Fires don't resemble yellow bellies very much at all. They are much lighter in color, lack the distinct YB belly flecking, and overall just have a totally different "look"....

I dont have a YB or fire, but here's a sulfur (produces BlackEL like the fires)

On the left is a 09 RDR goblin(yb) and on the right is a 09 fire.

Can you show me a bellyshot of them?
They look really simular to each other.

So what would you say that this is? I was stupid enough to breed a yb and a fire (and a spider but that wasn't so stupid ) to a some normal females.

Some of the babies is in shed but here's a couple of pics.

And a pic of a normal sibling


Thanks, I would really mean alot to me to get a second opinion on this.

#1 actually looks normal,3 and 4 I would say YB,5 is a definate fire. I hatched 2 fires this year so far with completely faded heads like that.

I was speakig with Baileys Reptiles and I believe th Sulfur has been proven to be the same mutation as the fire. It's just another line of the fires FYI
