Darkie Enigma?

[Country Gecko]

I haven't posted in a while but I hatched this little one on 6/16 and thought it was pretty dark as compared to the Enigmas I usually see. I just started working with Enigmas this year and this one is from an Emerine/Tang Enigma bred to a RAPTOR female. My question is.....Is the amount of dark coloring on top of its head typical?

Nice looking gecko. I dont think its an enigma though.

So is it just a normal with a jungly pattern and semi-dark head? I have to say, I was a bit confused with it? I have hatched normal banded leos from this pair (with some pretty decent "emerine" color), but still completely banded. I didn't expect any jungly hatchlings? Here's a pic of its Enigma sib.....

Even though it's not an enigma, it's an awesome gecko!

Thanks again for the input everyone! After a little more research I can see quite clearly that it's not an Enigma. However, how common is it that one is hard to differentiate (under tha trained eye:main_robin from a normal.

Forgot to ask....are there any known really "dark" Enigmas?
