Harlin,

thanks

Pitoon



>>Hey Paul,
>>
>>Great PHOTO! (had to say that in spite of the jyohe comments...lol)
>>Seriously though it is a decent enough photo.
>>I have no doubts that your snake is indeed an enchi.
>>As you know, morphs such as the enchi are quite variable.
>>
>>I have a female that looks uglier than yours!!!
>>(How is that for boasting...lol)
>>
>>Quite some time ago, I purchased a pair of c.h. snakes from Michael Cole.
>>They were sold to me as "Rust Reds".
>>(When I got them, they were neither rusty... nor red.)
>>When I first received them, I asked Michael Cole if he thought they could be Enchi Pastels......He was sure they were something different. I was satisfied with them. Although they did not appear red or even orange....I knew that they were indeed something genetic.
>>Michael Cole told me that as hatchlings they were more rusty and red....hence the name.
>>Supposedly they were thought to be siblings.
>>My female looks exactly like your female...only less speckling...a LOT less.
>>(I think she has one speckle!!!) lol.
>>
>>While raising the snakes up I changed the name on the label a few times.
>>(The "Rust Red" name just did not seem to fit these snakes.)
>>As the snakes aged...they also began to look different from one another.
>>(both still look promising....just different.)
>>Eventually the name on the female's cage tag was titled "Enchi?"
>>She has been a slow growing snake....she hit the 500 gram wall and stopped feeding for quite some time. Finally she began to feed the way I expect a snake to eat.
>>She slugged out on her first attempt at breeding.
>>I hope to remove the "?" from her cage tag next season.
>>Although I have not yet proven her out....I am fairly certain she is indeed an Enchi.
>>
>>At this point I do not think the snakes were siblings....nor do I think they are the same type of morph.
>>The male still has me scratching my head. He is definitely genetic. But I am not sure exactly WHAT he is?!?!?
>>I call him a Brimstone. I hope to create a super form of the Brimstone in the future.
