Pretty interesting. Card says it is a H.R. Fire but the pairing should not have produced any Fires. But I don't know what HR stands for. I would call the breeder and ask for clarification.
Some better pics of him would help ID him.
What do you specifically want pics of? He is very stressed but I can snap a few pics when I get home from work if you tell me what you need
H.R. could be highly reduced?? Just guessing. I have no idea what it really stands for.
It looks as though the pattern is the same from comparing the pics, but the breeders is much brighter/lighter and Fire looking than your pics.
I wouldn't stress him out for more pics today. He's had a rough enough day.
It is possible he is in she'd. The tip of his nose looked a little dry and his eyes did appear kind of cloudy. According to the feed card his last shed was at the end of November...
Give him some time maybe he is going through shed. I think he looks like a Fire in the pic from the seller. Has the head spot and color.
Maybe get a good pic of him stretched out when he gets acclimated. He was balled up a lot in your pics.
I think the feed card is throwing the ID off. There are no chances for Fire out of a Vanilla x Pastel pairing. I would definitely call the person you bought him from to clear up the info on the feed card.
He said he put both a fire male and vanilla male in with the female. He believes the fire sired the clutch because he got fireflies, fires and pastels.
He also said that the snake was in blue before being shipped so he IS about to shed which is affecting how he is currently appearing.
I replied back asking for pics of the parents and a clutch picture. I also asked for him to explain what HR stood for.
Fingers crossed he replies soon!
I will do another photos hoot post shed and after he has time to settle in.
These are the pictures of his clutch mates that I was sent. Two fireflies and a pastel.
The HR stands for Holts Reptiles.
He should shed in the next couple of days. I asked, again, for pics of the parents and told him he should understand why I'm doubting if he is actually a fire.
These are some pics I could find of pastel vanillas online
This is the firefly girl that is mine. Just waiting for weather to get better on the breeders end. She was about 180 grams in these pics.
