For my personal taste im not really someone who cares a ton about a reduced pattern. I actually have selected most of my snakes for a slightly busier pattern. Im a cinny combo nut and i think busier cinny combos are nicer than reduced one. Im more of a color/blushing person. My fire and lesser both have busier patterns compared to some of the reduced ones ive seen. For a cleannn BEL i dont think pattern plays as much of a factor as the fires brightness. My fire has a reduced pattern compared to a normal but he certainly isnt the most reduced ive ever seen. I wanted him because hes nice and bright and as a little bonus he has a subtle ringer on his stomach.
Heres a few pic of him right now at 360ish grams.
with flash. with my darker normal who is in shed:
Without flash:
This shot compare their heads and really shows how the fires is more blushed:
Now heres a pic of him with my step brothers MUCH lighter normal who isnt in shed. Even compared to her hes brighter and has nicer blushing. With flash:
And again without flash:
Sorry for the sorta thread hijack with all the pics. I just LOVE the fire gene. Im hoping that him and my pastel girl make some nice babies for me this year! Hopefully these photos help show you what a good example of the morph (imo) looks like.
On a side not even tho he isnt super reduced, i also fell in love with his striping along his back!
