Flames and alien heads. sometimes i think i am reading a weird comic book. can someone explain these two and any others. these words aparently descrie the pattern.

Be happy too! Also may as well explain blushing too while we're at it! Let's start with blushing and flames with this girl of mine:







See on her back between patterning there are areas that become lighter? That's blushing - the milk chocolate areas.

On the second and third picture, see between her side patterns where there's white coming up between the patterns? That's flames.

This girl is considered a reduced pattern due to her LACK of alien heads.

Here's blushing and flames on a pastel:



Her head and back have blushing (light gray in this example) and she also has a wicked flame on her side at about 11 or 12 o'clock in the picture - right behind her head, in fact.



Here's a picture of one with alien heads:



See the two dots in most of each side pattern? They look like eyes, and it makes the side patterns look like little Roswell aliens (thus a reason why a lot of people name their ball pythons Roswell).


Hope this helps!

i feel like a kid in a candy store when i learn something new. thanks a lot, rabernet. i had read the index of terms before but these pics really helped. it took me forever to figure out the flames. at first i thought you were talking about the white border that seperates the gold from the black. then eureka, i saw the flames. kinda felt a little dumb there. like if it had been a snake it would have bit me, lol.

Us older folks still refere to them as "ETs". Remember the alien on the old movie, some look just like him. lol
