telling apart ivories from enchi ivories?!

[Zinky]

If the parent snakes are Ivory and enchi yellowbelly how would you tell apart the ivories from the enchi ivory hatchlings? Would you just have to wait until you breed them as they're too difficult to tell apart by eye? Thanks

Im not 100% on this, but I've read of telling with a black light with bels, on say like if it was a spider super fire or something, the same thing might apply to ivories.

Based on the 2 pictures on World of Ball Pythons, it appears that the Enchi gene will affect the pattern. On an Ivory, the yellow dorsal stripe is real thin. On the Enchi Ivory, this dorsal stripe looks to be thicker and more gold (istead of yellow). My friend hatched out a Mystic Ivory, and when placed next to my 3 Ivories, the Mystic gene's influence on the pattern was easy to see. I bet that you should be able to see something similar when comparing an Ivory and an Enchi Ivory.
