    Enchi ball color as aging

    Hello

    I have a enchi female ball python and started to wonder if it is actually an enchi(possibility of being just normal?). I have never seen a normal ball adult in person so I was not sure. She is at 750 g right now. When I see enchi from websites, they have more lighter and golden color compared to mine. I heard they get lighter as they age but about when? She seems like enchi but just wanted to make sure if she is just low quality or not.. doesn’t matter whichever but just wanted to know thank you

    Couldn’t take pic of her sides but she has yellowish color on the sides near the belly.

    I am seeing a reduced patter not an enchi.

    Here is a pic of a mature 4000 grams enchi and in bad light, as you can see there is a difference in colors.

    I see normal coloration, she has has a banded/reduced pattern but the coloration is off, as they mature Enchi have a copper/rusty coloration

    Definitely not enchi. I think she is most likely a reduced normal, or possibly a yellowbelly. Pics of the top of the head and the belly would help.
