    Coolest Combos

    Trying to decide between these to add a morph not everybody in the world has to the collection and want opinions on which has the best combo potential. Pictures and lists of known combos would be great also.

    Re: Coolest Combos

    So far, the enchi have been in more combos than the others.

    The enchi lesser, the Mochi (enchi mojave) and the Tiger (Enchi Desert) are some of the best.
    The super form is good looking too.

    The spot nose is another morph that you don't see around enough. Some of them are really nice. Some people say it's not really a morph, but when you see one, you will be able to tell them apart from the normals. I must say that the name doesn't really help. The only combo I can think of so far is the Twighlight ! Quite nice. The super form, the powerball is quite nice to work towards too.

    I don't know much about the vanilla so I will skip.

    You should also consider the Fire if you don't have it. A nice morph, that makes combos go CRAZY. The Firefly is just insane.

    I went with an enchi and a fire, who are both the ones I liked. I nearly got a spotnose, but decided to wait a little more, since finding a female was harder and I had enough male at that moment.

    Re: Coolest Combos

    Already have Fires in the collection. Definitely agree on those. These snakes will be paired with either a Fire, Cinnamon or I will go the long route of a Pied combo. This is a really tough decision. Less than 13 hours til show time and I still don't know which direction I'll go. Might just come down to what has the best representation of the morph at the show. VPI is going to be there and they have all of them available but are likely to be the only vendor that does. The only thing I know I'm getting if there is one I like is a Mojave and a Spider. I'm also considering the Woma (morph, not species) as well but those are independent of this choice.

    Re: Coolest Combos

    I would honestly pick the vanilla.

    My collection consists of ball pythons with recessive genes, but if I were to pick another gene than recessive then I would personally go for the vanilla.

    The super form 'thunder' (I'm not sure whether that name is right) looks very sweet.

    Re: Coolest Combos

    i have spotnoses and there is some sweet combos. i just saw a lesser spotnose at tinley(clean HOT snakes)

    vanilla are cool they spice things up quite a bit yet you dont have to worry about white snakes in future breedings like if you used fires.

    enchis just dont really do it for me sure there is nice looking ones and bad looking ones but alot of them just look golden brown as adults.

    I know this is very short notice as the expo is literally hours away but does anybody have any opinions on VPI's Enchi's? I know Vanillas and Spotnoses are kind of specialties for them so if I go either of those routes, I'm not concerned. And of course, everything I've ever heard about VPI is top notch. Just want opinions of their Enchi's in particular.

    Re: Coolest Combos

    Well, didn't quite get what I was planning on. The expo seemed to be very male heavy. All male mojaves, not one female at all. A few female spiders but nothing that did anything for me. VPI had one female vanilla, no spotnoses, no female enchi and no womas. But, they had a sugar that really had my eye but it was out of my price range. I bought a dumeril's boa which was also on my list and was about to leave when I decided to go see what VPI would sell the sugar and vanilla together for. Tracy named a price and I couldn't pass it up. The sugar is exactly what I was looking for in one, just didn't think this year would be the year I got one. Nice high white sides and nice orange outlining the black. Very happy right now.

    If it wasn't "really a morph" then it would not create the powerball

    Axanthic spotnoses are pretty cool. They hold their color (or, lack thereof) nicely too.
