Here is a post by me. The last 2 pictures are of a yearling male fire. http://www.ball-pythons.net/forums/s...d.php?t=108776
IMO the best examples of fires will be lighter than a normal, Have more flames than a normal, Have a very clean and clear belly with pied-like markings along the sides, have faded head markings and lip spots. Many are also ringers.
My female for example is a ringer with orange flames near her tail.
