    Possibly Enchi?
    She was a rescue, so I have NO idea what's in here... she's got no alien heads and some blushing up her back. Is she a really reduced normal or are we looking at Enchi? Thanks guys!

    Reduced pattern normal, I'm not seeing enchi. She's nicely banded but if she had enchi I would expect more oranges and golds in her coloration.

    edit: The eyes are different too, enchis have green eyes while a normals are generally less brightly colored (browns and greys, etc)

    I see normal. No clover for a head stamp. Also looks like going into a shed soon. Nice reduced pattern!

    Reduced pattern normal not an Enchi, lacking the colors and head stamp.

    Clover shaped headstamp isn't usually present on single gene enchis, really only on pastel enchi's and sometimes their combos:)

    Enchis do sometimes have sort of v shaped marking called (I think) a "head pinch" though, where their eye stripes connect to the yellow dorsal stripe. Looking down on the snake it makes the dark colored cap on the head look almost like a diamond or a spade. It's not always present and not all animals with a head pinch are enchi (I've seen some pastels with it too), but it has been known to occur commonly in enchi animals. They do also, generally, have a bit of head blushing.
