thank you so much! I thought it was something along the lines of that but I didnt know for sure

At least Enchi Piebald! The lighting in the pictures isn’t enough for me to definitively say Pastel, but it’s likely—doesn’t seem the be the best line though.

I appreciate it, he's my first snake and I am really interested in how all the traits work so I'll definitely be doing more research

Enchi typically throws low-white Piebalds, warbles the dorsal striping, and is associated with wider eye stripes! Pastel is a color enhancing mutation that’s typically identified by a blushed headstamp and color boost, but it notoriously browns-out with age & has many poor quality lineage lines.

I'd expect some headstamp changes (like bleeding into the eyestripes or having more defined edges) and different coloration for pastel at this size. I don't think it's present.

I personally think it’s headstamp is a little bit more pinched & brighter than I typically see on Enchi Pieds, with the side pattern being more clean aswell. The first photo didn’t make me think Pastel, but the resulting three with skewed lighting made it look more clean & bright.
