I'm getting an Enchi Possible Het. Pied male!!!

I recently won an auction
for this male Enchi 66%
het. Piebald that is 225g
and was produced from
a (Stingerbee 100% het X
100% het Piebald) pairing.
I'm lividly excited for this
as I've ALWAYS wanted an
Enchi ball let alone possibly
a Piebald maker..IMO I got
an extremely good deal for
this boy if just an Enchi @
80 shipped. Show of hands
what does bp-net think of
the het markers and my boy
in general? Would love critique!
I have a Mojave Spinner Paradox
coming next Tuesday also that's
a baby boy rather than a bigger boy.

Nice Enchi... No het Pied markers.

Still a good deal
for an Enchi male
yeah? What does
everyone think of
him as an Enchi...

RustlewoodReptiles

Honestly, not my first choice as an enchi. His color is his best feature, but way too many spots. Personally I like nice reduced enchis.

Though at the end of the day it only matters if you like him. I dont see pied markers either, but who knows! Hopefully he proves out for you.

Markers dont mean everything, But yes as other said hes not a BAD enchi but hes not prime! Regardless of it all if you like him its all that maters!

I figured he wasn't top
of the line due to his
spots and not as tight
& reduced banding as
others, but I really like
him and really hope he
proves out.. I'm trying
to think of what het pied
female I should match
him with.. Anyways I'll
be able to produce my
own Enchis with him &
eventually select a very
tightly banded & reduced
Enchi.. for 80 shipped is
this guy a good deal IYO?

hey if you realy like him then yeah 80 dollar shipped is an good deal imo.

about what het. piebald girl to get i would say none, get a pastel piebald female. so if he proves out you'll have a shot at pastel enchi piebalds and if he doesnt prove out you get pastel enchi's het. piebald wich you can keep if it is an male and breed back to the pastel piebald female.

if you get an het. piebald female and the male does not prove out you gonna get a bunch of possible het. piebalds, i dont know about you but i myself would like to be sure that i would atleast be getting 100% hets. but that is just me.

that was 100% Het Pied, if that is what you are going for. Possible Hets are not really a good way to go unless you have some Het or Possible Het females already grown, and the male PH is a high dollar animal. For instance, if you could get a GHI or Banana PH Pied for a steal, then yes, by all means. $80 shipped is cheap for any Ball, but remember, an auction is usually done because they could not sell the snake in an ad.

Yeah a double combo with
the pied gene in there would
definitely be the way to go..
I should just slow down with
the snakes it hasn't even been
6 months and I'll have 3 soon
ahaha...Would be great to get
a beautiful piebald female but
I really hope he does prove out.

Kind of feels dumb now wanting
a het female for a MAYBE male
lmfao.. wouldn't it be nice to try
making an enchi piebald clown?

I love spots, the more the merrier.

Hahaha ive been buying for about 6 months and just got 7 and 8 today and probably getting 1 or 2 this weekend

Honest critique here, I would pass personally even if it's only $80, not the best example of enchi.

A good Enchi should be reduced there are way to many spot.

Remember shop the snake not the price, selective breeding goes a long way.

Now as far as het markers I have held back animals based on their marker and they have proved including a female Enchi PH Pied that just proved this season.

Don't beat yourself up. Keeping and then breeding Balls is a constant learning experience.

I got him today and I think
he's great! Only issue is he
hasn't ONCE flicked out his
tongue.... I'm thinking he's
shocked from being shipped
or something but I hope I
just didn't get ripped off w/
a ball included w/ free RI...
are there any other reasons
a ball python would not flick
out their tongue at all? Like
not even once, hasn't done it.

EDIT: SO Debora, based on
what your PH Enchi looks like
belly or marker wise how does
it compare to mine possibly?
I know markers aren't for sure
but I'd like your input mostly
