What's the difference?

[Bluebonnet Herp]

How are the Enchi, Mystic, and Fire morphs different from the normal morphs, aside from the genetics? I can't quite make out their differing physical characteristics...

[satomi325]

Good examples of the 3 morphs look very different from normals. Sub-par examples may look more like normals. If you put any of these 3 morphs side by side with a normal, I will bet you can tell the difference.


Ex) Enchis typically have a super reduced banded pattern. They also have a certain coloring to them that is distinct. They have orangey yellow coloring on their lower half of their bodies.

Fires get lighter with age. A nice example is a bright cream colored animal with flames and blushing.

I'm not the best at describing a mystic so I'll let someone else do that.

Enchi: Reduced semi-banded pattern

Mystic: Flames, weird cinny like Alien heads

Fire: Reduced pattern, light creamy color that gets lighter with age

The big thing about all of these morphs are their super forms (homozygous co-dominate)

Heres a thread i started about the fire i got yesterday. Scroll halfway down the page and youll see a pic of him with a normal. If you dont see a difference then there may be a problem lol:

For enchis check out h00blah's or jinx667's enchis bc theyre both REALLY nice examples of the morph.

They all have different characteristics, if you can't see them you need to get more experience, that's all

When I first started a lot of the morphs I saw didn't look much different than a normal. After a couple of years of looking at them I can see the differences in a lot of them now. A couple still throw me for a loop, but I guess over time I will start to get them figured out also.

All three are good examples of mutations that generally don't photograph very well. If you have the chance to see them in person you'll notice the difference right away (if it's a decent example of the mutation)
