Is this a Fire??

[JLC]

Thanks all for the input, I truly appreciate it.

The seller did just email me and said that the Fire dam is also a Black Back, could that possibly have an effect on the belly and the general coloring?

No...I don't think so. Seriously, it sounds to me like you have a seller who is simply very reluctant to admit he/she owes you a refund because they misidentified their hatchlings.

Yes, I would demand a refund or a fire replacement! Blackbacks are just normals with no spots on its back!

Hi,

Could they show you pictures of the parents with a handwritten note or something?

If he sends pics of two normals then that pretty much puts the tin lid on it.

Email him a link to this thread so he can see that everyone is calling him out on his BS.

Just my .02.

Thanks again all for the comparison pics and advice. To the sellers credit, even though he believes this is a fire, he will be letting me trade this girl for one of his babies from this season. I asked him to send me a pic of the dam, i'll post what he sends.
To be clear though, the purpose of the thread was not to bash another, but just to check my perceptual skills . I'm not going to take a confrontational approach with him, as the situation is partly my fault for not knowing beforehand what to look for, and he is offering an option to make me happy.

It is not your fault as the seller needs to make sure he has the morph he says he has. I am glad to here that he will fix his mistake! Any good breeder will try his/her best to rectify the situation!

Well played

That snake is not a fire. If you want to send me a pm of a pic of a replacement I call tell you 100% yes or no if it's a fire.
