I searched and found an old dead thread, but has anyone produced an albino banana? I've seen hets for sale, but can't find a picture of one. I would think there would be one by now.

Anyone?
Maybe it would just be an all lavender snake with red eyes.

Guess I'll have to produce one myself.

Re: Albino banana?
I would imagine an albino banana would just look like a regular albino for the most part and that is why there haven't been any (or many) created yet. Albino works best with genes that change pattern or contrast and banana is really just a color mutation.

I'm still curious. Maybe it would look like a bel with faint patterning. I can't believe no one has tried it yet, just to see.

All,
has somebody found a picture of a Albino Banana in the meantime?
I bred my Banana het Albino het G-Stripe to a Albino female this year.
Only two eggs were good because I found the clutch some days too late... .
Anyway one Banana and one Albino hatched some days ago, but I think no Albino Banana :(.
Best regards

I cannot imagine how the banana gene would just somehow "super" or otherwise go crazy with the albino gene, unless they're somehow on the same loci and they're obviously not since banana het albinos are no more spectacular than non hets. Both genes just alter the pigment, that's it. The banana is a form of albinism that removes nearly all the pigment while the albino wipes it clean. Essentially, the albino would cover up the banana coloration, the result being a snake that is genetically albino and banana but only looks like a regular albino.
