Hello everyone. I come here looking for your knowledge and opinions. The sire was purchased off Craigslist as blitz (lmfao) but I assumed it was a pewter. The dame was a normal enchi that was also from Craigslist. The babies came out with some unusual patterning for what I thought I was breeding. Does anyone see something familiar? Any thoughts on a morph that could be causing the wacky patterning? Just had their first shed. Now moved in to their own tubs. Will take more photos soon.

I honestly thought your girl was a nicely banded normal from that first pic of her but looks like she’s just lower expression on the enchi. That could be some of the things going on here.
Some of the littles can have a low expression like mom. Some look to definitely have a much higher expression. Pewter enchi can have some crazy variation to it, so I’m not sure if that’s what’s going on or if someone can ID the possible 4th gene in here.
Sadly, him being mislabeled on CL is it’s own can of worms because it boils down to dinkering like this. Regardless it looks like you did hit a couple awesome results.

I don’t see anything unusual here. Just some pretty pewters, normals, enchis, pastels, pastel enchis, and what looks like a black pastel and a pastel blanchi. Cinnamon and black pastel can look pretty similar sometimes, but these guys look more black pastel to me. So maybe calling the male a black pewter would be more accurate than calling him a pewter, but I don’t see any evidence of a 4th gene involved. Better pics would help though.
