I recently purchased a Ball Python that was advertised as an Enchi Red Stripe het Clown.
When I collected her, the breeder mentioned that she could possibly have Special as well.
She does however not look like close to the Enchi Red Stripe we produced in 2023, she has a different head stamp, a lot more white spots on her sides and very bright.
The pairing was Special Red Stripe Spotnose het Clown x Enchi Blade Clown
Looks like a Super Vanilla Clown Ball Python?
Thanks for the reply! There was no Vanilla in the pairing unfortunately, and also not clown based in the headstamp
She’s carrying Spotnose. That’s the reason for both the head stamp and the brightness.
I would recommend becoming more aquatinted with how BP genes work before commenting. Super vanilla is impossible because neither parent has it and both would require it to be a super. Clown is possible, but this snake is only het. They do not have any visual clown markings.

I’m not as familiar with Red Stripe, but with that headstamp I can see Enchi Special Spotnose being a possibility. I don’t know if blade would have any influence on them but may be why it’s a brighter/lighter color than expected
Hahah, you beat me to it on spotnose
Awesome, thanks! I was thinking she was Spotnose rather than Red Stripe, but will be hopeful to also prove out Special in the future
From other photos online I believe Spotnose as well, I am not sure if Blade is in the mix, not a lot online without visual Clown in the combo, but hopeful that she could be Special too
You could do shed testing for certain morphs, link below to check out which morphs you can test for, if you aren’t already familiar with this:
I will have a look at doing some shed tests in the future, I have a bunch I would like to test so will include her in the group
