Please help identify this boy.

This is the last baby from my fire x fire breeding. 2 of the four are obvious fires. 1 is a BEL. This young man is borderline for me....If I look at him alone, he says "Fire" to me. Putting him against his sisters----I'm not 100% sure and don't want to cheat my sister who is very interested in him. Thus far tonight his head has seemed to lighten up even more so....I'd love opinions... (nice ones please!)






(No flash)






(Crappy bright light shot)

Any pics with him next to his siblings?

And if u happen to have a normals that hatched out around the same time as this clutch could u throw them in for a side by side?

Im betting u just got smoking lil fire girls

The last no flash shot is very convincing to me.

Yes let me put them here and ty both for taking the time to help out...




First shots is Baby 4 (question baby) and Baby 3 (fire)




Baby 4 and his 2 siblings




Baby 4 plus a normal from a normal (het pied) clutch born within the month



Baby 4 plus another shot of the normal baby

LOL, you're right. That is a hard one! He definitely doesn't look normal but his coloring doesn't pop like his sisters. It looks like he has a little bit of a head spot. It's a good thing he's a boy though. It would make proving him a lot quicker.

LOL this is a hard one! I wish he was or wasn't--that would make things much easier. The head spot shows up much more in person...that's the difficult one...bleh!

Look at the yellow and blushing when compared to a normal. Plus he has the "no curve alien heads," I notice on alot of Fires. Meaning instead of his side pattern curling down at an angle near his belly, the more straight down, its kind of hard to explain.... lol

Id totally put money on him being a Fire and the girls are just real hot smokers!

Belly shot of a fire hatchling, looks pretty similar to me

Thanks Jerry-- I actually took belly shots of all of my other fire hatchlings and agree on that cause while there were some very slight stray dots there it was clear overall-- much like one of the others immediately after birth....I appreciate the help and the feedback!

Robert, Good point on the alien heads and looking back on my other fires I see that as well. Thanks to all the great answers I am really feeling more and more confident about him...and he is absolutely the cutest and sweetest so it makes me happier since he'll have a wonderful home! So far everyone I've spoken too either in pm or here on the forums has felt he is fire or leaned towards it...which speaks to my own feeling/observation on him.


I absolutely appreciate everyone who has added their two cents --its what makes this community so great in that you can ask others for help/feedback/advice. My thanks!!
