    Which female to breed?

    I have a Pastel enchi, I plan to pair him with a female in the future but which female morph would you suggest for the best looking offspring? Cheers

    That depends. What do you consider to be the best looking ball pythons?

    Looking through pictures (on this forum or elsewhere), are there any combinations with Pastel, Enchi, or both that have caught your eye?

    You've got a great male there. Personally I love pretty much everything mixed with enchi and pastel. I know you said you were inexperienced but out of what you've seen so far what has been most appealing? Are you a bigger fan of colour or pattern morphs? Colour morphs like banana, mojave and orange dream look really nice with pastel and enchi but some pattern morphs would look really good too, for example leopard or clown. It really depends entirely on what you like the most.

    Pair with an orange dream. The Enchi pastel orange dreams are beautiful looking snakes!! I love working with the orange dream gene.

    I do love OD's. Haven't seen one with the pastel enchi though I don't think.

    If you look at the thread I started the other day I posted a few pictures of my pastel, enchi, orange dream, yellow belly. It's not exactly the same and they aren't the best pictures but it could give you an idea. There is also always world of ball pythons. They probably have pictures of what an orange dream, enchi, pastel looks like.

    Orange Dream goes well. I have an Enchi Fire Orange Dream (you can see him in this thread, http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...3-New-Pictures), and nobelreptiles produced a really nice Super Enchi Pastel Hypo (seen in this thread http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...l-orange-ghost). I produced some really cool Pastel Mystic Enchis which can be seen in this thread http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...Enchi-x-Mystic and others. Eric Allen has produced some awesome Enchi combinations (http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...-Clown-Combos!), but like he said it really comes down to what you like. Pastel Enchi will mix very well with a lot of other genes.

    What's your budget? Pastel and Enchi go well with Hypo and Pied as Deborah, Lyfoti05, and others showed in this thread about Hypo combinations http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...4-ghost-morphs and Justin Kobylka showed in this article about Enchi Pied combinations http://jkrballstreetjournal.com/2015...s-have-landed/. If you have the patience, a recessive project could be very rewarding. If you would like to see results quicker, I think Orange Dream and a Blue Eyed Leucustic gene combination or Yellowbelly and a Blue Eyed Leucustic gene combination are a great place to start.
