New Enchi arrived on Tuesday

This is my new Enchi that I received on Tuesday. The seller said he's 95% sure it's a "super Enchi citron het pied", hopefully someone can explain that to me and confirm or deny it. I don't know too much about genetics, this is my first morph, second BP...all I saw was a handsome snake so I scooped him up, what are your thoughts?https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...279d062586.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e7196485eb.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...8c2766b4fa.jpg

Wow! Very lovely and stunning! Also makes such a cute coil. :)
What's his name?

I'm deciding between Bristol and Echo still, kinda leaning towards Bristol though

I like both of those names. His pattern has so many cool features! You're very lucky!

Here's a quick shot of his home, all pictures were an hour or so after I set him inside for the first time so he was still exploringhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...f7f12f5d55.jpg

that's a very large enclosure and very large hides for an animal so small...

Does this call for immediate modification? I figured it was just room for the fella to grow. Also, his spine seems very pronounced to me, could he be underweight?

hard to tell with him in a ball; we'd need to see him stretched out.

a large enclosure for a beep so small usually results in the snake being stressed and refusing to eat, especially since you say it's been an hour and the snake has not settled. such a large enclosure is improper husbandry for the little fella; it would not surprise me to see a post from you in a few weeks saying the snake won't eat. i would say yes, this requires immediate modification (tho it's not an EMERGENCY atm).

i have a hatchling (90g+) right now in a 15qt tub with the small RBI hides and she's doing remarkably well. i recommend starting off with a similar 15qt set-up.

He is a cutie and I like both the names ^-^ I do agree that the enclosure looks too big, to much space is stressful for a little baby. A tub like tttaylorrr suggested would work or perhaps if you had a way to divide up the rank that would work too. When he's all grown you can go back to this. If you do decide to divide up the tank also cover up three of the sides with paper so he doesn't feel so exposed. Hope this helps

Thanks for the input, I have a sterilite tub, it can be seen on the shelf beneath the tank, that I'll move him into until he grows up a bit. I'll also pack the hides with paper towels to make them a bit more snug
