^ Perfect example of what a bad picture can do to a nice snake. ;) They also don't really start to come into the gorgeous gold color that Doolittle's enchi shows until they have had a few sheds.

I've hatched out busy enchis before, they look similar to that. so I'd say that's an enchi.

Okay, thanks guys. I am waiting until he settles down more to handle him, but I will take more pictures when he's been in his tank a week or so (he was pretty stressed the last couple of days and just calmed down so I don't want to disturb him). The nice people who sold him to me contacted the guy who actually bred him, so I'll chat with him about it, too. It's not really a huge deal--I like him either way, it's just if he is normal then I paid way too much when the going rate for $30 for a normal at the reptile show. It's very possible that he is either. I'll revive the thread in a week or so to try and get some more pics in good, natural lighting. :)

bluh it's too early for this

Yeah, but a male enchi for $125? I dunno, that's a little low for enchi anything isn't it?

I agree with Anna put some weight on him and come back in a month or two with some outdoor pics. I think he is a low quality enchi as well.

I have seen some single gene males for $175 shipped on KS so $125 sounds about right to me.

Male enchis were in this price range at the Columbia Repticon this past weekend. A lot of breeders seem to be trying to clear rack space for 2013s that are hatching.

Okay, so according to the breeder his mom was a pastel and his dad was an enchi. Apparently he just has a very busy pattern and should lighten up with age. I got pictures of his enchi father and pastel enchi half sister. Hopefully when he gains a little weight he'll get a bit more colorful too! :)
