    Need ID help (4 gene snake?)

    So long story short, I've had opinions from several people and they often differ. Everyone agrees that this is a Super Pastel Lesser, but some say it is also enchi and others say it isn't. What do you think, and WHY

    What was the pairing? Head says Super for sure

    A post shed pic would be much better. Here is a Pastel Lesser I was looking at last week. Kinda looks the same pattern wise, less the Super.

    The pairing was Pastel x Pastel/Lesser/Enchi

    This is the Super Pastel/Lesser/Enchi from WOBP. the feature I'm noticing most is the stripe on the neck connecting to the eye stripes on the head. From what I've seen that is an Enchi feature. I think that mine looks pretty similar:

    I think your pic lacks the "butterfly" Enchi Pastel headstamp typical of Enchi Pastels. I don't think the Super washed out the butterfly headstamp on yours.... look at the butterfly headstamp on the WOBP pic

    Here is my generic Enchi Pastel- butterfly headstamp. The headstamp on WOBP is just brighter with the Super morph.

    Im keeping the snake anyway, and if it's a male I've got a female Enchi to breed him to next season. I'm just curious more than anything.

    Regardless, I'm loving the head pattern, as well the body pattern is pretty funky. It's for sure the coolest snake I've ever produced hands down
