Pastel ?Enchi? Clown

Hey there :)

I’ve bought this beauty as a pastel clown but 2 different experience breeders told me that there was definitely enchi in her. Can you please give me your opinion. One said (in his opinion) it was a pastel enchi clown, while other said it was only enchi clown.

Father was pastel enchi clown and mother was het clown.

Pastel or not pastel can vary on the quality of your lighting for the photo.

In the light of the photo posted I would say 'Not Pastel'-given that Enchi and Clown both lighten the color to begin with...

Nice looking snake btw. Throw some Banana or Coral Glow in there! ;)

Considering the pairing and broken reduced pattern I would have to go with Pastel Enchi Clown of course a better picture in natural light would help.

Thank you for your help guys! Here you have 2 more photos. First one was when I got her and the picture was taken by the seller under white light. The second one was recent, maybe 2 weeks ago under natural light. Not the best photographer and not the best place I know :P

Pastel Enchi Clown

Still confirms my first though, hard to believe a breeder would miss the enchi in her and sell her as pastel clown.

Maybe the lack of headstamp led to believe it was a reduced pastel clown?

Possibly but I have seen very variable head stamps if it's just a Pastel Clown that would be the best looking one I have seen. Of course I did not see the animals from the clutch side by side out of the egg either.

Sometimes it can be tricky and only breeding sheds a light on what the animal really is.

Asked seller for some pictures of the pairing and he got me this.
