To be, or not to be, an Enchi

[h00blah]

I have no idea where my friend got the snake. The only thing I do know is that he lost contact with the seller.

Also, will a low quality enchi only produce low quality enchis?

When people tell you to "buy quality" in a morph, they're telling you to buy an example of a morph that best displays the traits that the morph is known for.

Enchis are known for their orange / gold coloration, the orange/yellow coloration that creeps up from the belly and side, and the banded pattern.

Below is an example of a very nice orange / gold enchi with very high orange/yellow coloration creeping up from the belly, and an almost spot-less and banded pattern. I was happy to sacrifice the non-spotless pattern for an extremely nice example of the Enchi. I would consider this a high quality - top shelf enchi .




EDIT:
Buying quality won't guarantee that you will reproduce 100% quality babies, but you're hoping that some if not all of the traits of your breeders will translate into the other morphs. For example, I'm hoping the overall coloration of this enchi will translate into my Ultramel project. I'm also hoping that I produce some banded enchis, and enchis with high orange/yellow. With any luck, I'll produce an enchi or 2 that has more than 1 of the traits that I like in enchis .

The enchi you posted a pic of has some cool banding, but it has very low orange sides, and dark brown overall coloration. That's only 1/3 of the enchi traits, so personally, I wouldn't breed him/her.
