Enchi versus Pastel

So, for some of you that have been following my blog, I hatched out this animal a couple of weeks ago.

She was a PASTEL when she hatched, then gradually became an ENCHI.

How does this happen?

Mystery clutches!!!

I had no idea, and seeing as how she was my first Enchi (and only) to hatch out, I assumed it was a Pastel at first.

Even some people who came to my house who shall remain nameless said "That's a Pastel"

Nope.

It's an Enchi :)

Which one is it? ;)

The one on the left really looks like an enchi. Big congrats!

if genetic doesn't apply to this animal and there was no enchi parents, may be it's just a pastel that have enchi apparance but nothing genetic.

Looks like you will have to prove/test it's genetic :)

I have an Enchi male, and he was a possible sire to the clutch, so I think I'm pretty solid on the genetics. But yes, I will have to test its genetics just like everything else... :)

on the left.

both = hotness

I used your pics as a basis...

I would have asked earlier, but SOME PEOPLE like to make fun of me. ;)

One on the left is the enchi in my book, kinda busy pattern but still an enchi.

What was the Mom?

Nooooo I dont..........

The one on the left is sooo the Enchi but where is the baby picture again? Can't recall if I've seen the questionable baby snake photo :confused:


(makes mental note not to ever breed a pastel and an Enchi to the same thing as to not have H's identity issues)

Ouch...

The lack of blushing on the head would be questionable for a pastel but yea I would have thunk pastel as well.

If you have Enchis it should be no question! If in doubt look at the belly. You west coast ball breeders crack me up......:P

This was the first one, oh wise one... And it was a mystery clutch.

Normal x ALL THE MALES WHO WOULD HAVE HER

Result was one Spider, one Enchi, and four normals.

That is what happens when you go to the school of Baker.......

LMFAO

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

the orange Flames make it stand out. as does the overall... fuzzy appearance * to me anway*

I can see from the baby picture why one might mistake it from a normal pastel -- it's not really bright like but it's pastelish for sure. But the one thing we know about Enchis is that they get more beautiful with age -- and it looks as tho yours just needed a little time to come into it's own -- you have solved your mystery.

is there a guide to enchis???? soething that explains what exactly defined an enchi?

Very beautiful snake Heather. The one on the left in your first set of photos is definitely an Enchi. I would definitely say from the baby pic, that it is an Enchi. I have an Enchi that just hatched about 6 days ago that is in shed. Once he sheds, I will take some pics of him and post him up. He looks just like the one in your baby photo. I was surprised to see this Enchi, as the first half of his body is very busy like yours (he is carrying another trait, but I will keep that secret for now). The other Enchis that I hatched this year were more "Enchi" patterned (i.e. more reduced and banded looking), but definitely have the very bright yellow coloration.

Congrats on the beautiful girl.

Definately an Enchi
And a beautiful one at that
Heres my 08 male for comparison
