Ok so we all know that the Banana is the holy grail to ball pythons. From my understanding they are a co-dom snake. My question is, why are there not alot of them flooding the market? is it to keep prices high? why are they so rare? i have never seen one even offered for sale, i hope someone can clarify.
I though the dreamsicle would be the "holy grail" it is worth $50000 you know The banana is spectacular though

Dreamsicle is not a base morph and could be made by anyone which would not make it a "grail" if anyone can make it.
The Banana on the other hand is a base morph which makes more sought after and theres more to play with. when the first females were sold they were in the $100,000 range.
I thought I read that even when the first female got to the states some thought she was a caramel and passed on her. I'm sure she wasn't cheep but I don't think the price really shot up until after she proved to be something new.

A Banana Piebald would also be awesome
The Champagne was also high priced at first, the first BEL, etc... Like a lot of other morph. The only think with Banana, is that it never been (as far as I know) avaible to the large public. And since the first one (as I know again) was a female, it too longer to reproduce them.

i think i read that in Kevin McCurleys book "The complete ball python"
I had the pleasure of actually holding one of these on one of my visits to NERD and trust me when i tell you no matter how good the picture is it is no where near as amazing as seeing it in person. Simply stunning.
