How can you tell Enchi markings in a combo? I haven't learned yet. I can tell Enchi by itself, but when mixed in a combo, it sometimes becomes impossible for me to tell, as I haven't learned what exact details would be showing.

Well it a combination of a few things when you breed and start producing multiple gene combos, sometimes you process by elimination,

I know it's not and Enchi Pied , Pastel Pied, Pied, Leopard Pied, Pastel Leopard Pied, Pastel Enchi Pied.

What I look at with this snake are color, amount of white, head stamp.

Enchi will make low white pied while leopard will make high white pied, when you mix both together you are re-establishing some type of balance in the amount of white, the head stamp is narrow which you observe in Enchi Leopard, the patter is jacked up which you see in Leopard, the body coloration says enchi and pastel, and the fading of the head (also no longer as obvious now) says pastel too.

Sometime it's a fun guessing game, I have held back animals in the past because I am not 100% sure on what they are especially when no one really made them before.

I hatch a Pastel YB Leopard Pied recently and the same guessing game by elimination went on (and of course some breeder friend chimed in and agreed too, tough one since no one seemed to have produced it yet)
