With your banana the best combinations would be clown and pied. But others that could be fun are ghost, desert ghost, genetic stripe or even tri-stripe. I always say think outside the box. So if something catches your eye try it.

Maybe even puzzle if you want to drop some money on a newer project that's not being over bred yet

Thank you for the suggestion. I just looked into the King Spin Enchi and the Stinger Blast, those two catch my eye and will probably make it easier to distinguish between the babies.

I agree with this and would add Leopard combo to that list.

Back to the op. I would try to find a nice recessive project for your male if it were me

I have a question hopefully you can help me answer. If I get a visual recessive female to breed with my male, is it ok to breed a male from their clutch back to the mother to get visual recessive snakes?

Yes. People do this all the time. Without line Breeding we would not have any recessive morphs

As long as there is not a genetic issue it is fine. I will inbreed for a couple generations then out cross. Always take into account other genes as well though. I do not breed spider to spider or lesser to lesser. There are other genes with issues as well where they are fine in the hetero form but problematic or even deadly in the homo form. You can see them here. http://www.owalreptiles.com/issues.php

So if I wanted to give my self a chance of BELs in my gene pool it would be safer, for example, to breed my male with the butter gene into a female that contains mojave or the lesser gene?
