Update on the weird Banana Fire

IMO, it's a randomly thrown pattern. Mind you, it's a wicked cool random pattern, but random just the same. I'd be happy to have him in my rack :gj:

Very nice!

There is a monogenic Harlequin, I see NERD produce a bunch of them, however there are far more polygenic harlequin looking animals. its not uncommon to see a striped fire, I think the banded ones are more in demand though. If you google fire ball python, you can see its tendency to stripe a lot of combos. unless one of the parents also had a harlequin pattern I would see no reason to think it is anything other than a polygenic pattern. where i see it a lot is just normal wild caught animals.
