    I'm inclined toward lesser pastel enchi and possible super depending on post-shed but you know that already. To me the 'wavy' banding says enchi. I've heard a number of people say that the butterfly stamp doesn't always show until a few sheds later. The blushed head alone isn't enough for me to say super pastel, since the triple always has a very blushed head anyway. Pastel, Lesser, and Enchi all contribute to head blushing independently.

    Something else to note - I had a LOT of people tell me my pewter bee male was 'definitely' a sterling bee when he hatched. I'm not sure if people are eager to congratulate me on hitting the 4 gene or if it's hard to ID in pictures, but 9 months later I grow more and more sure that he's just a nice pewter bee. Send the pic out in private message or email to a few people who have produced a lot of enchi stuff. I got different responses in private than I did in public when I was trying to sort out the pewter bee - again not sure if people just go with the flow, only look at a few pics from google images, or are just eager to congratulate.

    Re: Need ID help (4 gene snake?)

    I see enchi still. The lesser pattern looks more like lesser enchi towards the last half of the snake and the stripes on the head connect which is common in enchis. I see super pastel lesser enchi. After a shed or two maybe the headstamp will be visible.

    Well, I've received a lot of opinions and so far the only concrete answer is that nobody knows! hahaha

    The only way to know 100% is to prove it out by producing an Enchi

    I agree. turns out that HE is a male! So he'll be bred my Enchi female next year. If he is an enchi then there is of course the possibility of a pastel/lesser/Super enchi - which is awesome!

    Also, here is another pic of him

    Re: Need ID help (4 gene snake?)

    Now that I can finally see the picture. Going to have to vote there is no enchi in that particular animal.

    I am revising my guess based on research alone to say it doesn't have enchi. The head pattern isn't right, even for the single pastel version. Never seen one with enchi that had a 'closed' head pattern.
