Can Somone Identify This Please?

[beanx]

Was browsing through the kingsnake classifieds and i came across this guy listed as just a tangerine. I'm thinking he might be something a little more high end, but he probably isnt. Just want to check and make sure though would hate to see him go for as much as he is listed for if he isnt a tang. Thanks in advance for looking and all of your help.

Hes a Tangerine with a nice bit of green on him!

Alright, i was for some reason thinking she could have been an "Enigma". Maybe my idea of what an Enigma is, is just off. Can someone help me out, maybe show me some examples of what an Enigma is? Thanks Alot!

a great looking tangerine, from a good breeder. Enigmas don't generally have a definite look, they just don't look like "normals"

here is my enigma het patternless

 

[beanx]

and how do u determine that he is an Enigma?

I think you need to do a search here on the word "Enigma".

A hint: Pay CLOSE attention to the eyes, as well as the head pattern. :main_yes:

Yeah it’s a tangerine with some good green on it. It doesn’t resemble the enigmas at all IMO. I wish I could tell you how to tell them apart, but I think you just have to look at enough of them.

I would say it most closely resembles an Emerine and not so much a Tangerine because of the amount of green in the body.

Very nice hypo-tangerine from a great breeder!

Emerines are Tangerines....:main_rolleyes:

OK... Emerines are Tangerines... That have been bred into Emerald lines to increase the amount of green in them. Emerine = Emerald x Tangerine. They often have more green hue than other Tang. lines, sometimes even having green on their tails. That's all I meant, no need to roll your eyes. Be easy, lol.

And to know if it is an Enigma you'll have to breed it to a non Enigma to see if you get any Enigmas. On average you'll get 50% Enigmas from breeding an Enigma to a Non-Enigma. Good luck.

Nigel,

I just went to your site to see your Leos, but you're sold out. That's good. You should consider adding a picture gallery of Leos you've bred so that potential customers can see your prior results. It's just a thought. The bamboo shoot looks nice, but it makes your name illegible.

i dont have any trouble with the shoot and the name.

It's not an enigma.

 

[Pro Geckos]

No, she's not an enigma... just from tangerine lines.

Awesome Tang Cody!

Looks like a tangerine with some great potiential.

 

[crotaphytidae]

I like the amount of green in it.
