I dont really know much about ball python morphs, but what is special about a fire? It looks like a normal to me. Can someone point out the characteristics of a fire?

	Morph A morph is a color or pattern variation that is proven to be genetic. Common morphs include albino, anerythristic, gentically striped, Hypomelanistic, and many others. Morphs also include combinations of simple traits such as "Sunglow" which is Albino and Hypomelanistic. These traits may be recessive traits, co-dominant traits, dominant traits, or created through selective breeding (ie Pastel).

Thanks a lot everyone!

As far as the Fire goes, they are an IMG snake, meaning they only get lighter as they age, never darken up. They all have a little spot on their head as a small characteristic (some ball pythons have it either way, but all Fires do) They are Het. for the Black Eyed Lucy, and will make the coolest crosses ever.

Here is my little dude compared to a regular Ball Python.


Here is a friend of mines (Brandon B.) Fire/Pastel (Nova) compared to an adult Pastel Ball Python. It'll never dull out, it's around 1000g now, and oh man, let me tell you, it makes super pastels look dull.

	Heterozygous Heterozygous - the animal carries the gene for a genetic trait but does not outwardly demonstrate the trait. Example: A boa that is het for albino looks normal but carries the albino gene. When it is bred to another het for albino boa or an albino boa, a percentage of the offspring will be albino.
