and come to think about it, the fact that it doesnt bring much to the table in combos may be another small piece to the giant picture of why they're crashing so fast. some morphs that werent so pricey in the beginning pop some wicked combos and actually go UP in prices (i.e. the enchi). people seem to forget how pricey champagnes were and how quick they crashed.. because now everyone is crying over the banana/coral glow. but the champ was pretty much a dead end when it came to combos.. there are a handful of neat ones, like the banana, but for the most part when stacked with other genes, they're just "eh.." at least IMO..

Re: Banana/Coral Glow
I have one question for all of you?? The Peppering is it appealing to you? I hate it. I'd rather have a nice toffee or Pastel Lavender albino.
Bananas aren't my thing. Rather get a GHI.

We all have our opinions, personally I think the banana is the nicest morph to ever hit the ball python market. Maybe you have to see them in person to appreciate them?

I like the black spots. I think it looks really neat with the contrast of the white/yellow/and black.

oh i think the banana is a beautiful animal and i've seen a handful in person. i'm not crazy about their freckles, but they still look awesome.. i just think most if the banana combos i've seen dont look that much better (if any) than the original banana. the morph doesnt "blend" well with a lot of other stuff, it overpowers them.. much like the champ.

Re: Banana/Coral Glow
May I add my couple pennies?
In my opinion, the people who will get higher prices for the morph are the people who will consider longer payment plans on them, despite the headaches of them.
In my hunt for another CG, most payment plans I've seen offered (in the contacts I have made) are 2-4 weeks, after a 20-30% initial down payment. If most of us smaller hobbyists had that kinda cash lying around, we wouldn't be asking for payment plans.
I'll be offering 6 months to a year payment plans on any I produce. My animals don't pay my mortgage, so I can afford to help other smaller breeders out a bit.
The guys offering those low low prices want the cash now, payment in full.
