I purchased this girl as a Partho Super Enchi, Super Pastel. Dame was Super Pastel Enchi, potential Sire was Hypo, Blackhead, Enchi, Lesser. Her shed is clear with no patern. What do you guys think?

Not super pastel, the head isn’t blushed enough (look at mom). No lesser bh hypo that I can see. Why is she poss partho?

If it’s a partho, fathers genes won’t factor in here.

The pattern is so clean and enchis leave such a large headstamp, I can definitely see this being super pastel super enchi just a lower expression on the pastel since the blushing is a bit less pronounced.
The side pattern would be much more dingy and dirty if there was a single gene.
Seeing this clutch on MM, the ones all marked as super pastel super enchi do look identical. I would think at least those babies are indeed partho.
Dad wouldn’t have been able to pass on a pastel gene and hypo is not a factor here as even if she wasn’t partho, mom isn’t carrying a hypo gene to pass on.
The combo of super pastel and enchi can lead to some very light sheds. But you should still see something of a pattern. I think if you flatten out the shed on a white background it would be more visible. Especially with the headstamp.

I wanted to get the last Super Pastel clutch siblings, but it was sold when I tried to get it. They were all just so bright and mine just keeps getting better. Still no noticeable health issues. These pictures are a few months old after her second shed. I’ll get new pictures.
Hopefully the seller made you aware of the reduced lifespan that is typical to partho animals. You can expect a few years but not a lot more. I want to say is 8 years is the longest I’ve heard of one living but 2-3 is average.

I was already aware of potential risks but yes it was discussed before purchasing.

Looks like a pastel super enchi to me. The eye stripes widening behind the eyes until almost non-existent and limited spotting in the side panels looks super enchi to me. The lack of more blushing in the headstamp and the limited amount of side panel distortion up into dorsal areas as well as limited blushing inbetween the side panels say not super pastel to me. I also dont believe it to be a partho. Moms a stunner. Hopefully your new little one glows like her.
