    How to notice a "great Enchi"..

    Hey guys,
    I am in the market for a Enchi this year. But what I've read is a great Enchi is worlds from and bad or average. Problem is what do you think the discription of a "Great Enchi" is...?

    It's pretty simple, as reduced pattern as possible, no spots, with bright coloration towards the yellow end of the color spectrum.

    A good enchi should be bright, even as a youngster and have a very strong reduced pattern/banded thing going off. I'm personally in the hunt for a good enchi in the UK right now and it's look like we'll have to order from the states again.

    Look for a good yellow colouration and an extremely obviously banded/reduced pattern animal.

    The one in my avatar is an enchi.

    This was her as a baby.



    and her when she was about a year old:



    Sadly, someone else also thought she was a great looking enchi and stole her before she got to be shipped to me.

    Re: How to notice a "great Enchi"..

    You've got two main things you want to look for in an enchi. Like others mentioned, there's color and there's pattern. It really depends on what you're looking for. I've seen some enchi's that had more spots on them than I really care for, but the coloring was just insane on them. Find one you like and dive in!

    Here's a picture of our enchi locked with a spider.

    To me great enchi's should have melty patterns, bronz to copper color, and be fairly reduced..
