Enigma?

Hi all! I am new to leos, just got 2 of them in January from their 2nd owner. They are approximately 6-7months old. I've posted a lot about them and they are doing great!
I am still concerned about the smallest of my two leos. She just acts a bit different. She has interesting feeding habits and is very picky, at times she won't eat unless I put the mealies in a dish inside her hide. At times, it takes her a few strikes to get the mealie in her mouth. And other times, she eats very little then others, she gorges. My other Leo eats much more consistently.
In addition, she has a small tail shake when walking. She turns and snakes a lot. When I'm holding her, she will try and burrow in my hand and in between my fingers, into my belly and other small spaces. It's like she goes out of her way to push her nose through small spaces.
Marking wise, she has developed some pretty irregular spotting patterns specifically on her head. There is almost no pattern to her head at all. I've posted a few pics, the first was when I first got her, the second I took today along with the video I will post.
Let me know what you guys think. Thanks!
Amanda, Lana, and Duchess the potential "enigma" [emoji2]

For some reason, I can't get the video to post. So if you search "Duchess the leo enigma" on YouTube you can watch the video. Thanks again for your help!

I don't see anything in the video that screams Enigma to me, but I also do not have a lot of experience with more subtle signs. Hopefully someone else will chime in. She looks to be a very healthy weight though, so she's probably being weird and picky because she isn't very hungry.

As for the markings, it just looks as though she is losing her spots and is going to be Hypo / Super Hypo when an adult.

1st 1 im sure it's not an enigma. 2nd 1 is also looking like a non enigma. Maybe just give them a little bit of time to adjust to the new place?
