    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.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    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....

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!)

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 :D

The last no flash shot is very convincing to me.

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!

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!!
 
I'm going to buck the trend and say it looks like a really nicely colored normal and not a fire. Doesn't have the "fire" look and the head spot is wrong. Definitely a nice dinker but I would put all my hopes on it being a fire.

Hi Steve,

I totally appreciate the feedback however there is no way it is a dinker. I bred the baby and know its parentage which is fire x fire. Its choices are BEL, Fire or Normal. So..... your vote is for normal then. Thanks much!
 
You know my opinion - leaning towards Fire ;) but yea... definitely a tough one. Dang subtle morphs :p

lmao I know...I know and I knew putting this public I might here things I don't want to! Wah!! And I still am leaning towards fire too....worse case scenario is he doesn't prove out and I owe my sis another fire....she'd LOVE that! :D

We'll name him Rayna's little "Fund"-- translated to mean Fire unless (i'm a) normal dinker!

I have to agree with Steve (minus the dinker part) Looks like a very nice normal judging from the pics. My opinion could change if I see him in person. I just hatched 2 very nice looking normals recently and if I didn't know who/what the parents are I will also call them dinkers.
 
By dinker I meant that it doesn't look like a fire to me but it would be worth breeding just to see if it was in fact a lower grade fire or a very nice normal.
