What to look for in Fires?

[Salamander Rising]

Fires have a reverse Mickey mouse head stamp and get lighter as they age. Most seem to have blushing that starts on the head and goes down both sides of the neck. Once you see one they are pretty easy to identify. Best of luck.

Is the "reverse Mickey Mouse head" you spoke of?



Here is more of the snake:







It was sold to me as a Fire but two local long-time, high end BP breeders say they would not consider it a Fire.
It was also sold to me as a male but both numerous poppings and probings by the same 2 breeders say it's definitely female.

I don't know what to think, anymore.
