Buying a Coral Glow?? White Plains Reptile Expo

hey guys, i was wondering if anyone was going to the NY Reptile Show on July 24th in White Plains, also i pretty much have my mind on my second ball python, i really want to get a bannana or a coral this time around, any idea on the prices? thanks in advanced.

They're usually 200 for a male, about 600 for a female.

Hannah what accounts for the large difference of price? I realize females are typically more expensive as a general rule of thumb, but is something else going on with CG/bananas?

I want to go to this so bad. I have never been to an expo before and just found out about this one today, kind of ironic there is then a post about it haha. Have to decide if it is worth using 8 hours of vacation from work to go:D:D:D Oh also Im with you on the banana/coral. Thats probably the snake i want the most.

There will be plenty of bananas at this show. A male banana, as stated is about $200.

Outback Reptiles will typically have Banana Spiders, Banana Mojave, Banana Bees, etc.

It's gonna depend on the age/size but a baby will probably be 200 for a male like others said. I bought an adult male banana het pied for $450 at a show a few months ago.

The vast majority of bananas are males. Something with the gene is also linked to the sex they produce. I think it's roughly 9/10 bananas produced from a male banana will also be male, along with offspring those produce. They're typically referred to as male makers. I believe the male bananas produced from a female banana will have a normal male/female ratio in their babies.

Not quite
male bananas produced form a male banana are male makers and produce 99% male bananas
male bananas produced from a female banana are female makers and will produce 99% female bananas
this only affects the banana offspring the remaining offspring of what ever else the cluch could produce will be the oppsit sex of the said male or female maker
only the female banana produces normal odds on sex
one big reason female bananas are costly is they are key to producing super bananas which are extreamly costly

My goal! I keep holding off hoping to find a het pied female cg since my male is het pied. Fingers crossed I can just replace him with a cg pied son in a few months!
