I just got a new baby I plan on shed testing but I was wondering if the id was correct? I was told Enchi pinstripe
Why would you need to ask about the ID? Did you not purchase from a breeder?
ID is correct.
Definitely get a lukewarm soak going and help the baby get that stuck shed off
He came from a friend who had to downsize due to some not ideal circumstances! He got a bath last night and the stuck shed is all gone!
He’s a pretty little thing! ![]()
He is and super sweet as well
Awwwww. Glad he’s out of less than ideal circumstances!
Edit to add: glad the shed is off too!
agreed on this, I’m seeing more super enchi something personally, but not enchi pin or super enchi pin. It looks to be super enchi with something I can’t quite put my finger on? Hopefully the master agrees with me on this one lol
I am almost wondering if it is HGW???
So if it is HGW is this a bad thing if the op decides to breed?
I don’t know what I was thinking but yeah, there is something else. Thanks for catching that!
I think maybe I missed mentioning lesser since this looks so much like my lesser enchi pin I had. But HGW is another good thought
@caron yeah, not a good idea for breeding. HGW is a spider complex morph and while not as egregious as champ or spider, it’s one of the ones known to visibly wobble.
Personal preference. If you are in the camp that does not like the wobble morphs then avoid breeding. If you are in the camp that does not care then you can breed but you should still be aware of the other morphs in the complex that can result in lethal or failure to thrive combos
Got it Travis! Thnx!
I don’t plan to breed but I have noticed what I thought was a wobble as I do have a spider yellow belly who’s 4 and has a very pronounced wobble but this little guy is odd too when he balls he likes to be upside down and he also I thought has stargazed a few times
That could be signs of HGW since it is in the spider complex and Travis thinks that could be a possibility. I know this is a new baby and they could be stressed from settling in. That can definitely make wobble signs worse
Because this is isn’t your only snake: If it gets worse with stargazing or coordination then I would recommend having tested for IBD (Inclusion Body Disease) with a reptile vet. Early signs can sometimes look like a wobble and it’s something you would not want spread to your other snake
I definitely will thank you! I’ll update with shed test results
My 2 C. The yellow dorsal stripe makes me think GHI. Plus a double dose of enchi.
