Chris is right, knowing the parents and having multiple morphs in your collection sure helps in identification.

For someone who has not seen high oranges, tigers, flames, nuclears, nuclearmeltdowns, and dodomas at first glance and to the untrained eye, they look like normals.

It looks like you have a nicely patterned clean normal.

High Oranges or Nuclears have a much more vibrant and extreme orange.

Tigers will have more black/brown in their patterning because they are a normal crossed with a rufescen (almost totally brown/black with a little color of flaking on the sides).

Flames I would think would be the hardest to identify because at first glance they really look like normals but their colors are a bit more extreme and they are very clean meaning their black/brown colors do not run into their yellow/orange patterning. (Chris/Scott/Travis/Vinny/regulars maybe you could clean this description up better)

Dodomas are a locality in Tanzania and they have a reduced black/brown patterning along with almost NO patterning on their face and head.

Nuclearmeltdowns are a cross between nuclears (very bright orange) and a dodoma which results in a reduced pattern (black/brown) with a very bright orange.

Theirs a decent market for these subtilties in the KSB collecting community which has helped promogate their development.
