How to tell if patternless is an enigma?

ChrisS · Mar 18, 2015

Picked up a new girl, sold to me as a patternless. She's showing certain enigma traits. Tail chasing and tilting her head. I was curious if there is any way to tell visually if she has the enigma gene.

Well given that her tail has pattern, she is not a patternless. But looking at the pattern that exists on the tail, it does look like the typical blotchiness you get to tails with enigma.

What would you say she is? The color in the pic is as accurate as I can get it.

Going by the few spots she has(on her head and tail) she looks Enigma to me too. But I am no expert by far, I just know that sort of patterning is common on Enigma's.

Is there a way to get her genetic background and baby pic? It could be an enigma of some kind, but I'm not sure what other morphs she is. She doesn't look like a patternless though. I've never seen one with tail spots like that.

I don't have any background or baby pics of her. Asked the guy I got her from and no luck there.

Hmm, her eyes don't look enigma (enigma usually throws some orange into the eye pigmentation)

But she does look albino. So I would say she is a (currently) dull-ly colored 'sunglow'

That may be where the previous owner got confused and labeled as 'patternless', since sunglows are SuperHypoTangerineCarrotTail (SHTCT) Albinos. However, there is no way of distinguishing, with 100% confidence, which of the three types of albino that she is.

Are the eyes black or red? My computer makes them look black, but I'm guessing they don't look black on Dillon's.

I agree that the eyes do not look enigma. May be a light/dull super hypo or if albino, a light/dull sunglow.
