Picked up two babies from Repticon Los Angeles

I went to Repticon today in Costa Mesa looking for some ball pythons.

Saw a lot of cool stuff but not a lot of babies. Guess that will have to wait for NARBC later this year.

But I did find two cool little balls that I'm excited about raising and possibly being the first ball pythons I ever breed.

This one is an enchi male, het clown. What caught my eye was the connected neck stripe I really like it. Price wasn't too bad either.

My other pick up is just a female pastel. Wasn't planning to add a single gene pastel to my collection but what caught my attention about her is that she doesn't have a jungle pattern that most pastels and even normals these days, have. She also has that awesome behind the head stripe connection so if I pair her up with the enchi in a few years, maybe it could prove to be genetic?

None of her side patterns connect to her dorsal stripe.

Congrats on the additions. That Enchi het Clown is a nice first male.

Thank you. I've seen a lot of pictures and videos of what enchi does so I knew I wanted to incorporate that into my project. I would love to produce a super enchi leopard clown pied and call it an enchilada ball. Mainly because I wouldn't have to fix my phones auto corrections for 'enchi' anymore.

That's what drew me in to the table. I thought it was a normal but then I realized it does have that enchi color. Fingers crossed that head pattern gets passed along.

That's another thing that stuck out to me. I personally like dark snakes and even if a pastel with little blushing is considered a low quality one I like it.

Beautiful! I thought the repticon in Costa Mesa wasn't going to have reptiles there! I would've totally made it out [emoji35]

I believe a guy in the back right corner of the hall had one.

Would love to see more picture of the enchi, I wouldn't doubt there is clown in him. :gj::gj:

Cool thanks I took some quick snaps of him. Is there anything in particular that makes you not doubt?

Honestly I bought it not expecting it to be het clown. It was $170 and it was from one of those reptile store vendors, and they said one of their guys breeds ball pythons but they didn't have many with them. There had this male and a male pastel with similar head stripe, maybe a larger male spider if memory serves.
