Re: Normal or something else
Patterning is odd.
My first guess would be WT. However, if you told me it was a low quality Monarch I would believe you.
Re: Normal or something else
Im new to ball pythons what is a WT. She is getting blushing down her back changes every molt and carnt really see in the pics she has a spot and clover leaf pattern on head.

there's not enough reduction in the pattern to be Enchi, or it's a poor example of one. coloring looks a bit off for Black Pastel but that could just be the lighting. but these are only guesses since i can only see a small part of the snake.
Re: Normal or something else
Better pic if its not what i brought it as what would you say it was thanks

Thanks for that just learning about them not had them long was planning on breeding it to a mojave and the normal when they reach breeding size

really? really? that is not a Monarch in any form. i think a low quality Monarch would look like an Ultramel.

Its about 2yrs old weighs 1000g,was thinking that myself when comparing it to other examples.

yeah TBH it looks like a reduced but interesting browned out/greyed out Pastel (and not what it's supposed to be).

Yes can see where your coming from but comparing it to pics of browned out pastels it dont quiet match up and other than its got a pixelated look carnt see any enchi about it.If i did breed off it would it be best to put it to normal to prove it out or not bother at all.

Re: Normal or something else
Is there any posability the bloke i brought it off got his snakes mixed up and its got black pewter and not black pastel in it would explain the lighter washed out apperance

doubt it. doesn't look like a Black Pewter which is a Black Pastel x Pastel combo. i think it would be best to just follow-up w/ the breeder/seller directly and confirm the genetic pairing that produced it.
Re: Normal or something else
Will do though he said it was out of black pastel x enchi when i brought it but as you say it dont look like one im new to them so not up on them nearest pic i can find to it was a black pastel enchi ghost and seen a few pics of browned out pastels similar my snake has brown eyes thought pastels were greenish or can they vary.

if the breeder/seller is reputable, i would trust her or him. IMO there are a few ways to look at this:
1. be bummed out that your BP Enchi is low quality and/or doesn't look like others of the same morph
2. be proud of having something unique or a trait that may prove out if u breed (i.e. reduced pattern, blushing)

Yes mate im not that bothered didnt pay alot for it and i like the look of it'only thing bothers me is id like to know the genetics if i decide to breed off it.

at this point, take it for what it is until proven otherwise. breed it to something simple like a Pastel. Enchi Pastel, Black Pewter and Black Peter Enchi combo's should be easy enough to ID. or breed it to a normal and see lil single Black Pastels and Enchis pop out for confirmation.

Yes thats what i was going to do breed it with the normal and see what comes out if i just got normals and ones that look like him i would asume it was a pastel of some sort would that be correct.

Re: Normal or something else
The first one you posted is a normal... The second one I would think is a black pastel enchi.. Do you have better pics of him..

Not the best pics.. Cant be sure into you breed him..
Re: Normal or something else
If that snake has enchi, it is a poor example of enchi. The pattern is hardly altered. Enchi lightens so it could be a black pastel enchi, but the pattern doesn't line up with how it should.
This is my banana pastel enchi, his pattern is significantly altered and reduced as is usual with the enchi gene.
Again no way to tell except to breed it, but continuing low quality lines if it proves out is not my cup o tea.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...43437674e8.jpg

Re: Normal or something else
Hi not been on for a good while due to health issues sort of got to the bottom of why the black pastel enchi doesn’t look like what it should it looks like I’ve been sold the wrong snake the snake which should of been a black pastel enchi was a proven male the snake I’ve ended up with is 100% female the bloke wasn’t there when I picked it up but said his mrs would be fine sorting them out looks like she got mixed up some how so still none the wiser to what it is other than it’s some sort of pastel
