You commented in the tags on my snake post and I just wanted to answer that he's a Banana morph! I was going to try and get an Albino, my local pet store had one as a store pet that I loved growing up, but a local breeder I found had a lot of Banana morphs for a good price since they have male maker genetics. I don't intend to breed him, so that was fine with me!
Ahh, I was way off... Glad that you was able to get one from a breeder and not a pet store (I have heard it is generally better for reptiles, but my sources might be biased).
For me Albino ball pythons do look good, but it also seemed at least some time ago that anyone who isn't a breeder would have an albino or pastel or pied one, so I am glad to see someone who found simple morph which also makes a snake recognisable from others )
#i am no expert#the male maker thing is quite neat btw#no need to sex all offspring#it is just... all spekly bananas are males#which is pretty neat#snakes#ball python#banana ball python#snek#pets#reptiblr#reptile care#reply#also apparently the existence of this morph is evidence that pythons have XY sex chromosomes rather than ZW ones#(in ZW system ZW is female and ZZ is male)#(and sex is determined by egg cells and not sperm)
