Not sure if just a banana....

So this is my snake from Petco, Courage. He was sold to me as just a Banana. However, after doing to some browsing around MorphMarket, I think he may be a Banana Enchi, or even a Pastel Banana Enchi. Would any experts like to weigh in?

Pic from the day we got him:

He does have the banding and lack of alien heads so very possible that it does have enchi , gorgeous noodle congratulations thank you for sharing 😊👍

TurboSerpent, how old is your banana and what does he weigh? Mine is barely eight months and weighs almost 150g now. (He went on a hunger strike for two months after getting him.) Yours is yellower and has more spots, but if I understand correctly what the Enchi gene does as they age, mine should also get yellower? He doesn't have a head stamp, but he does have blushing on his head and lighter spots in the middle of some of his tan banding. I guess we'll have to see. For now, I'm going to just assume he's a Banana Enchi. Thanks everyone for the input!

Now how would I go about proving him out? I understand how to prove out recessives, but how would you prove out codominate morphs?

I don't have any idea on morph guessing, but for reference, heres a picture of Vega my banana. Sold as only a banana from a breeder, possibly from a line with high oranges (pics don't really show it well, but this is my best picture)

First 2 are indoors with just room lighting. Last one is outside in the shade on a full sun day. He's now just over 400 grams

Mine weighs about 800g and he is about 3 years old. He was originally sold as a banana enchi, then proved through breeding that he was also pastel. The pastel is hard to identify purely because the enchi brings out a lot of yellows just like the pastel does.
