It’s my understanding that Enhancer and DG in their best expressions are easy to tell apart for breeders like Kevin from NERD and Billy of Mutation Creation…and yes they do seem to be in the same polygenic complex (DG), but they both support keeping the lines more pure and not crossing them into one another.

I’m glad to have laid the ground work for this in the US, and that goes for most import genes becoming main stream now in the USA. Furrow, Nyala, Striker, Orbit, Twister, Tornado, Gorilla, etc. Once it gets the Anna stamp of approval and is mentioned on IG/some podcast I somehow ended up on - then people want it 
edit; You can thank Justin at Kinova for the tornado price issue and demand now

oh yeah when i\we reached out to DNJO it was already to late lOlz … had no idea that you deal with so many imports. how long have you been doing the entire import situation also do you come across many coom new morphs that start of as dinkers with you since you deal with many imports?

I got into ball pythons at the end of 2019. Decided to try breeding in 2020, and had my first imports in 2020. So, I’ve been doing imports from the very beginning - which has been a double edged sword for me for the most part. I’m new, people don’t know who I am, and have no idea about these ‘morphs’ I’m claiming to have or bring to shows, so it takes a lot of time and work to be able to find actual breeders overseas who will showcase what they have, answer your questions, and will work with you moving forward with clutches. I have had the opportunity to come a cross several new morphs or people who think they may have something will reach out. I feel very lucky to have people reach out to me when they come across something to get my opinion on it, and I’m very fortunate for people just coming out with a new gene to allow me to get into the project with them and see where it goes.

I normally don’t like combo names because I don’t remember what is in them and sometimes the community doesn’t all agree (what all is in dark knight and which line of axanthic is required to be called lightning ball). But I think the VPI axanthic clown desert ghost combo is so popular it might deserve a combo name. Too bad stormtrooper is already taken by an apparently not reproducible animal (does that put the name back up for grabs?).
Wondering if other pattern mutations will dial the axanthic desert ghost combo up to 11 like clown does. I think I saw the pied version at one point and it seemed almost as clean. I’m working on genetic stripe and monsoon versions.
Shed testing opens up the recessive combo game to people like me breeding less expensive hets and not just breeders with double+ visual pairs to start projects. However, long odds and testing budgets are challenges. And even if you hit the odds and test out the desired multi-hets, raise them up, then eventually hit the multi-visual these projects will take years and who knows what will be the rage then but I expect to produce something I like to look at even if it isn’t high dollar at that point.

The theory is that enhancers tend to be hom DGa and hom DGb, while DG can be any combo (with at least het DGa and het DGb. Hopefully we’ll learn more once the free DG tests results come back and the spreadsheet is released!
