Anything that has Enchi is surely a 100% Het Pied as she has never been paired with an Enchi in the past. Anything she throws that does not have Enchi I would consider a possible Het. I would avoid selling any non-Enchis as 100% Hets. It's just not prudent business to sell them as 100% Hets. Even true 100% Hets may not produce a visual for several years. I'd rather sell a 0.1 Pastel from the clutch as a PH than a 100% Het and give the buyer a "bonus", or possibly hold her back to prove her out myself.
That is how I was thinking I would go about it. I would fill the interested party in on the entire situation. I would probably just sell them off at prices of normals. .... as I said earlier in the post, This is not a certain project that I am working with so I really didn't plan on having anything from her this year anyways. Worst case scenario is I sell them off as normals the two snakes paid for their own food for a year :rofl: ... And as you said, if they prove out then I made someone really happy with a great deal. I am not an established breeder but one day would like to be, so I definitely don't want to get a questionable reputation started before I even get a chance to get my name out there.
