I really enjoy the darker morphs as well. I can't wait to get my hands on a GHI...but alas, my pockets aren't deep enough yet.
:-P

They're pretty snakes(the ones without the spots anyway) but the problem is that CO-DOMS can be produced to quickly that they don't hold their value. That's why the first ones who had them had to make that big money right up front.

I guess that's where it differs with me. I don't care about the big money or getting it first.

I will buy the snakes I think are beautiful, and if I decide to breed, then I will breed for that reason and not for the money.

my wife and I both like the banana morph but like others it a funding issue. I didn't know they loose the color as they get older I like to see a adult picture then.

Yeah I agree, these will always be a seller, even when the day comes that females are going for 150. So a breeder will always have for sure income if producing bananas. I just wish they would be a recessive lol that way someone could own one and it still be some what limited, or a snake that an average hobbiest would have to save a little for and would still have that sense of pride like when buying a pied, toffee, or lavender albino. Eh jus ranting I guess lol

I understand what you mean. With them being so readily available, it takes a bit away from the work of getting them. With that comes the fact that a great deal of them will go to people who don't understand the responsibility of these animals.

I don't think I'll ever get tired of hatching snakes that look like this.

Never had much interest in Bananas, especially after seeing the pic I posted below years ago...

Not great looking as adults and I hate the black spots all over them...

Here's an adult pic of a Banana that was posted on King Snake around 2005 or 2006...I have no clue who's pic or animals this is...

Beautiful or not the demand is slowing some, but the supply is way more than the demand can even come close to matching, especially for males ...

I was initially not interested in them due to the price. But then I started thinking about the possibilities of breeding bananas, and decided I need one. Yes, I'll pay the $2,500 that I've seen them at now if they don't go lower. I think morphs like the banana pin and banana lemon blast (banana + lemonblast is, so far, looking to be my first banana pairing) are well worth it because I, personally, like it, and that's all the encouragement I need to buy one, be it now or next year.

I suppose it depends on if you personally like darker or lighter BPs. I tend to enjoy the lighter morphs, so banana for me is something I feel I need in my life.
