Enchi and Clown question(s)
So ive been thinking very hard about getting into breeding in a year or 2. Enchi's and clowns have caught my eye from the start. Im horrible about finding articles and feeling uneducated about the finer points. Can anyone recommend some good reads, or give me a bit on input on these 2 morphs. Im curious if either morph have issues like spider's with their wobble, or deserts and breeding. Any help or a finger pointed in the right direction would be most appreciated. Ive visited many posts and read articles on breeding itself but find little on specific morphs.

Honestly doesn't get any better than these combos.
Unless you add ghost... :P
I agree with everyone here. You can't go wrong with clowns and enchis in my opinion.

I should have posted "do they get better with age or is there anything to look for like pastels browning out" as one of my questions lol, glad you read my mind. And thank you all for the posts. I liked them from the start because their looks draw me in. The fact i couldnt find any known issues just added to my list of plus's. I just wanted to be sure that my search's were actually comeing up empty and i wasnt just missing a keyword somewhere that brings up a list a mile long lol. I tend to be a person that looks at something over and over till the second i finally purchase it to make sure i know what im getting into.

Enchi:...Nice clean banding, nice orange sides, and as few spots as possible. Makes for a cleaner snake.
Clown: I prefer the reduced pattern clowns but some people prefer a little busier pattern. I also love a nice head pattern on a clown. Get some nice het clown females or visual clown female and start growing them up. You can get your male later on.
Good luck. Hope this helps some.
It does help. it also brings up another question. Why would you say get a visual female early on and the male later. I would think getting a good male early and useing him for multiple females would be a good idea. Or are you meaning get the females now to raise, and the male closer to when i decide to breed because males mature much quicker?
