    BEL Enchi?
    Hello everyone,
    my question is as follows: has anyone ever produced a BEL (any of the combinations, like super lesser/ super butter/ lesser mojave etc.) Enchi combo? I am trying to find pictures but I am not successful in doing that .. has anyone ever seen or has photos of it? Does a BEL Enchi look the same as BEL perhaps?
    thank you and kind regards, Andrej

    I have not seen a BEL enchi... I have seen bel spiders and bel pinstripes... yes they do look just like a typical bel.... the only way you can see the other gene at play is with a black light...... I dont understand it, but under the black light you can see the pattern that would have been there if it had not been leucistic....

    Depending on the animal, you can see the pattern on a BEL combo. Its just easier to identify with a black light.

    Go to post #28 and you'll see an animal that the breeder believes to be a super enchi super lesser, providing the super enchi part proves out. My Google searching hasn't found an enchi BEL, but regardless, that is a cool looking BP.

    that super lesser possible super enchi is interesting. Im hoping this coming season to land a super mojave ghost, I am imagining that I will be able to identify it by a faded head and lack of or faded yellow stripes. normal super mojaves have grey heads and yellow stripes.

    yes I have seen the supposed super lesser super enchi .. looks nothing like a normal BEL :D .. on a related note, do you think a BEL Enchi would be distinguishable with a black light? I mean what exactly would be the difference from a normal BEL? theoretically speaking of course

    Good question... I honestly have no idea, but I will conjecture and take the side that says an enchi pattern would show up under a black light... I make that statement under the assumption the snake stays white under normal light and the previous animal isn't "just" a BEL enchi, but a super enchi super lesser. The enchi gene does do some crazy things though in cases where most other genes are overwhelmed (like the champagne enchi for instance), so I wouldn't be surprised if some influence is visually present. Hopefully someone else will be able to chime in because I'd really like to know.

    Regardless, note to self: Breed an enchi lesser to lesser in the future haha.
