    Is this a..
    Hello all,

    I have been a lurker here but I am purchasing my first double gene ball python and before purchasing I would like your opinion on him.

    http://ball-pythons.net/gallery/file...03-1_thumb.jpg

    I am not going to say what he is, but he is a two gene male. I just want to see if I am paying for what I am getting and if both genes are clearly visible!!

    Thanks all I appreciate your feedback :D

    Pastel Enchi?
    Has the head stamp of one too.

    The photo is hard for me to see personally.

    Need more/better pics, my first thought was actually pastel YB but I could be talked into pastel enchi also.

    blueish eyes are same as any other firefly. I believe pastel enchi's have green eyes, but I'm not entirely sure.

    If you click on the photo it goes to another page where it is a large picture and makes the snake very easy to see.

    Correct, he is a pastel enchi. I thought he was nice because he had no spots and a clean pattern but noticed he has not a lot of banding going on. Should I pass on this one?

    Should I go for this firefly male then?

    Ah. Now that I'm on a PC, it does in fact go to a larger photo. Tapatalk didn't do that and only showed the thumbnail.

    OP: I still think Pastel Enchi. I wouldn't call it a 'low grade' either.
    Sure it lacks some blushing, but it's a clean snake in my opinion.
    The eyes are also green on my pc screen.

    I personally think both are nice examples for their respective morphs.
    Are you planning to breed or is it a pretty pet?

    I suppose it depends if you want a fire or enchi gene. Both are 'must want' genes in my opinion.
    How about a fire enchi. ;)

    The pastel in that "pastel enchi" is showing too much darkness for my taste. It will be a fairly dark pastel as an adult due to all that browning showing as a hatchling.
    The firefly is nice :gj:
