    of course you can line-breed enchis to be lighter and many people do so, but for me thats not really the character of the morph.
    The Big Bang almost certainly (beyond reasonable doubt) happened 13.7 billion years ago. If you disagree, send me a PM.
    Evolution is a fact, evolutionary theory explains why it happens and provides four different lines of evidence that coalesce to show that evolution is a fact. If you disagree, send me a PM.
    One third of the global economy relies on technology that is based on quantum mechanics, especially quantum electrodynamics (electron-photon or electron-electron interactions). If you disagree, send me a PM.
    Time Dilation is real, it is so real that all clocks if they are precise enough can measure it, and GPS could not possibly work without it.
    If you disagree, send me a PM.

    The 4 philosophically most important aspects of modern science are: Evolutionary theory, Cosmology, Quantum mechanics, and Einsteins theory of general relativity. Understand these to get a grip of reality.

    If nothing ever changed, there would be no butterflies.

    ^ This. And yes, he's an enchi. Stinger bees and enchi pins will be a lot of fun to produce.

    I see a very bad picture where the colors are off and you can't see the head.

    Exactly....all of this knowledge and expertise from someone that probably has ZERO Ball Pythons but retains what he/she reads to relay the info to others.

    I want to see collection pics.

    Most of what I know came from readin. Don't mean I don't know it. To be fair, don't mean it ain't false either.

    I see an Enchi, and I don't think I could personally speak to the quality of said Enchi without a pic in better lighting. I'm liking the banding though, personal preference. I don't like morphs completely even, so the slight breakup of pattern is nice to my eye. Again, might be a morph-quality thing.

    You need to post some good pictures of it's head and sides, there are normals that are banded just as much if not more than that one. Was it sold as an enchi, or what did the breeder call it? Pairing that produced it?

    As for calling an enchi a dark morph, you would have to be looking at the worst possible enchi's ever, or not even looking at an enchi at all to think that...enchi is a wonderful pattern and highlighting brightening gene.

    He is here. Looks like he is getting ready to shed so photos aren't that good.
