    Butter Enchi coloring?

    I bet there are a lot of these kinda threads, but I'm new here and didn't see any involving butters or enchis.
    I have a Butter Enchi coming my way either Tuesday or Wednesday, and was wondering if anybody has any guesses as to how her coloring will hold up as she ages. If I recall correctly I believe Butters usually stay pretty true to their colors but echis typically lighten as they age? I'm still getting the hang of ball python genetics. I'm just curious since she will just be a pet. This will be my first ball python I've ever owned so I'm not very familiar with their colors in relation to age. Here's a photo of what she looks like.


    Thanks in advanced!!

    You're going to be disappointed if you want her to hold her colors. Butter and Enchi both show their true colors as they get older. All she's going to do is brighten and get better looking as she grows. I HATE when they do that!

    Fantastic combination for your first! Butter Pastel was mine (and Enchi was my second).

    2nd this enchi makes the difference here to me tho butters look ok but enchi combos get better every time they shed super combo to look great even as a adult
    Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.

    2014 model Enchi Lesser.


    Last year, shortly after receiving her.


    Picture is in low light, but you get the idea. She's only gotten better.

    I didn't expect her to stay the exact same but I was curious to know if she would lighten or darken! I'm so excited to see her true colors. Thank you everybody! I'll update and get pictures up once I get her!
