How does one pick out a fire bp?

[dsmalex97]

I have been reading things about fire ball pythons recently and I am wondering how can one tell the difference with a normal. They look somewhere between a normal and a pastel. Are there any foolproof methods?
Cheers.

Hmmm....wheres Foschi when you need her? She gives just about the best description of a fire you can ask for...and some. Careful though because you compared the almighty fire to a normal, now you might have all of BP.net on you. Just goes to show and PROVE my point AGAIN Foschi and all you others that thought I was nuts.

Anyway! They are usually a lot lighter, although you WILL see some that aren't as bright as the next and apparently there are scammers? I wasn't aware of this either until everyone jumped down my throat and claimed I was showing a normal rather then a Fire. Maybe there right maybe not, just make sure they don't look TOO much like a normal. They all seem to have that as I put it 100 times in my other post lol "normalesque" look to them. Fires really do resemble normals a lot they just have a different look to them. Just make sure to pick the brightest to avoid the "fire scamming" problem that everyone here brought to my attention. They also have head markers which look like a faded circle, or other shapes sometimes which is how a lot of people tell. I find this to be somewhat misleading just because I have seen normals with head markers lol. Once you look at a lot of Fires there is no mistaking them, but saying they don't resemble a normal ball is just plain ignorant IMO. Glad to see I'm not the only one now haha
