Is this a Fire??

[piper]

I respectfully decline to answer on the grounds that I'm embarrassed enough, I don't need to add fuel to that fire

These along with yellowbelly's can be very hard to tell the difference sometimes where the markings may not be as strong as a very good example of the morph. I would email the person who sold the snake to me, be nice and tell them they have improperly id'd the snake as a normal and it is not.

This isn't a matter of an unhealthy snake, it's what you paid for, you unfortunately did not get.
