Explain Enchi

What makes Enchi, Enchi? I bought this guy as a normal but he looks a lot like what I've been seeing labeled enchi.

Storm, your snake is very beautiful and banded, but not the right colors for an Enchi.

Dang Jon, nice Enchi!

i think the broken up black and reduced pattern?
dont know much bout em

It's so hard to describe - it has more gold tones to it on the sides than yours does. This one of mine looks "enchi-ish" to me, but isn't an enchi. See how the lower sides on the Enchi's and on this one are gold creeping into the pattern?

I can clearly look and say Enchi to the Enchi's, but don't know how to explain to someone not familiar to them what makes the difference.

Go to a show and see one in person, you will never mistake them again. :gj: Yours is just a normal reduced pattern/banded. Enchis are a color and pattern morph. Very pixelated look, high gold/yellow, with that awesome face. And for me, the super is just so awesome!

Ok I will bring a camera with me next weekend and report my findings ;)

agreed I thought the same thing, that I could not see the difference, but i saw some at NARBC a couple of weekends ago and there is no denying them when you seem them in person.

Pile of NERD super enchi's (I had to dig for em, so you better appreciate it! :P)

wow, those are amazing

Here's a picture that I took of one of NERD's Enchi's when I visited last year. I think you can tell how different it is from a normal colored reduced pattern.

25% chance of Super Enchi when bred to another Enchi.
Yours looks alot like a True Reduced Pattern, I believe the Genetic Reduced Patterns dont have the small black circles within the brown patterning.
BTW great looking snake, anything with a reduced looking pattern looks awesome to me, I hope to eventually get a GRP, Woma, Spider, and Enchi

I did take the picture - if Kara has no objections, then I don't.
