how to make banana pinstripes
hello everyone, My birthday is coming up soon and my girl friend wants to get me a ball python for my birthday. Ive always wanted banana pinstripes. Currently i have no knowledge on breeding or genetics. I am not planning to even start figuring it all out for a few years. So my question is could someone give me some info on if i need a male banana, and female pinstripes, or vise versa? once again, i am not going to be breeding for years to come...... Just gonna start raising up my first two for my first clutch in 4 or 5 years. thanks all!

Early Happy Birthday!! If your not ready looking into breeding yet you can always just get a banana pin https://www.morphmarket.com/us/searc...tore=&country= . But if your serious about breeding later down the line it doesn't really matter which is pin or which is banana when it comes to your male or female. But it does matter if you want to branch out into other morphs.

Thank you, I'm going to get the pinstripe now because they are pretty cheap and then in a year or two get a banana. I would like that to be my first pairing ever in 5 or so years. Thanks for your info!!!!!

If you want to go with your plan, I'd recommend getting a female pinstripe first. Females could take 2 to 3 years before they are ready to breed, male about a year on average.

that's what i was planning to do. If i get a female now and then wait 3-4 years for her to be mature the banana BP's should have gone down in price even more significantly and be even more affordable. I'm looking forward to doing this over the next 5 or 6 years.

I also see a female pinstripe for $50. If you got them from the same breeder they could ship them together and you would save on the shipping.
I feel like ive heard lots of bad reviews regarding underground reptiles....

I know i probs sound kinda like an uneducated idiot right now and like i haven't done any deep down research. Don't worry, I will before i Breed in 5+ years.
No. Both animals need to carry the Albino gene in order to produce an Albino.
Albino is what we call a recessive gene - both parents need to pass it on to see it in the offspring.
Banana is an incomplete dominant gene and Pinstripe is a dominant gene - only one parent needs to pass them along to see it in the offspring.

Makes sense. So breeding a banna to a pinstripe will create a banana pinstripe combo, right? But if you throw in one that's het for something it won't show up in the off spring unless they both are het for that gene?

Correct. Banana x Pinstripe = 25% chance of producing a Banana Pinstripe combo.
If you're dealing with recessives, both parents need to be at least het to produce the visual recessive offspring you want.

Breeding a banana to a pin will yield 25% chance for normal, pin, banana, and banana pin each.
If both parents are het for albino 25% on average will be albino.
Edit: If you have a banana het albino and a pinstripe het albino that makes the odds a bit more complicated.

I have a banana pin and theyre pretty cool!
