    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

They could be and it might just be the camera altering the color. Most of the time, fire will destroy those pretty little cinny loops, interconnect them and keep them from "floating." You will also see that fire tint in the alien heads and the lack of the head spot makes it harder to determine. Cinnamon is a very overpowering gene. Of course, with ball pythons, nothing is certain.

I do see the contrast between the two, but cinny blushing can vary quite a bit. After looking again, I do see some mild speckling on the rear of the back stripe that's consistent with the fire/sulfur, but not enough to say for sure. You may have to put some age on them to see it for certain.

Try getting some high resolution pics or reach out to a fire expert local to you. Some fire breeders can pick it out in a heart beat in person.
 
Below is the back speckling I was referring to. I don't see this often on hatchlings and it shows more with age. This is a sulfur so I'm not quite sure how early it shows with fire.
