Enchi's????

I'm sorry guys I'm a virgin when it comes to enchi's. Ive been hearing a lot of Talk about then lately... What's so awesome about them? I mean I know their pattern is slightly different (awesome) but I don't get it? Is there something I'm missing ?? Cause there has to be if they are going for that much, I saw a pastel enchi for $1150 bucks the other day!!!

They are a nice morph in their own right but more importantly in my opinion is what they do combined to other mutations. You can see for yourself some of the enchi combos here http://www.worldofballpythons.com/morphs/

Additionally the Pastel Enchi you mentioned is a combo (Pastel X Enchi) hence the price tag which is actually pretty good.

Ohhh i was in your shoes not long ago. I always was trying to figure out what was so special about them What's the big deal about a lame reduced pattern snake? Boy was i wrong. Now i love enchis! Go to jinx's or h00blah's galleries and check out their enchis. To appreciate an enchi you have to see a GOOD example of one. For awhile i was only seeing ok examples of them and thats why i didnt really see why they were so special. If you see a really nice enchi, like jinxs or h00blahs it should change your mind. I also like the fact that they get brighter as they age. I like just plain enchis by themselves but the combos they make are pretty sweet too! One of my favorites is the lesser enchi:

Enchi's add another dimension to what ever they are mixed with.. In my opinion being an enchi fanatic I thu I everyone should own atleast one.. If you think pastel enchi was nice you should look into pastel enchi desert, bhb has a nice one price tag 5k.. Too high for me to buy but I can sure make one ;)..
Good luck with the enchi research and welcome to the fan club!!

Heck, I am not sure what is so darn special about them.....

I'm just talking crap now since I just finally picked one up:D...Anyhow, I agree that on their own, they're not the most exciting, but what they do in combos is pretty fascinating.

While it is very true there are many lackluster Enchi's out there, and it's easy to wonder why on earth they are worth so much, there are also very impressive examples out there, I saw one here a few days ago that took my breath away, it's what they make when combined with other morphs that most people love.

Kind of like Vanillas and Fires, alone they are kind of "meh :bored:", but when combined with another morph they are more like "holy cow! :O"

When I first saw enchi's back in 2006/7 I wasn't impressed and for the money they were commanding in those days forget about it. However after much coaxing and seeing some super top secret pics of a few combos I took the plunge. So far it has been the one morph that has done more for and in my collection than any other. On a side note if you ever have to look at an enchi and think "is it??" then it isnt worth your money.

And with that ... some enchi inspiration.

Yeah Enchi's are the most overlooked Ball Python I think. I think they are stunning all on their own, but put them with another morph an HOLY COW! Enchi's rock! def my favorite subtle morph that packs the biggest punch. Hands down

Well thank you everyone :) I am definitely going to look into them at the show this weekend!!
